Engineering company Sweco has been tasked with conducting a feasibility study for floating solar technology in hydro reservoirs in Uganda, as well as completing detailed design of a pilot plant.
Currently, most of Uganda’s electricity generation comes from hydroelectric power. The country is located at the source of the Nile River and is in the process of developing a number of run-of-river dams, including the 600 MW Karuma Hydropower Station. Uganda has a goal of achieving 80% of its electricity access by 2040, with about 30% access rate currently.
