Description: Uganda currently has 34 mini-grids known to be installed. For developers, the biggest obstacles to further build-out are cumbersome government approval processes and regulated tariffs that make it difficult to recver project costs without subsidies. In 2017, the government identified sites using a least-cost electrification approach and introduced a bundled tender scheme to scale mini-grids in the country.
