Description: The Government of Uganda strives to achieve universal electricity access by 2030 and transition towards clean energy sources. As of 2019, 62% of Uganda’s population remained without access to electricity. To close this gap and achieve universal Tier- connectivity—the generally accepted minimum level of electrification—the Government plans to expand access with both on- and off-grid energy solutions. Uganda’s Third National Development Plan emphasizes the importance of transitioning from fossil fuel to clean energy in enabling economic growth, poverty reduction, and overall societal transformation, giving further impetus for clean energy solutions.
