1.0 INTRODUCTION
Energy is the lifeblood of our day to day activities and our economy,
Energy is needed for cooking, transport, lighting, industries, social services, etc.
Energy, Economy and the Environment (E3) have very complex relationships.
A perfect balance between three leads to sustainable development. p Unsustainable exploitation and utilization of energy is contributing to global warming and climate change.

Ugandas has a low GDP that is partly driven by energy consumption reason for being above the line. The Agriculture sector that contributes to our GDP is not 4 energy intensive
Impact is measured in terms of: Consumption: percent change from status quo in 2002/2003 Poverty: change in percent points as compared to official poverty p y rate in 2002/2003
Looking at the impact of rural electrification, increase in family size, improvement in Education, health services and transport we note the following:

Objectives:
To establish the availability availability, potential and demand of the various energy resources in the country To increase access to modern affordable and reliable energy services as a contribution to poverty eradication To improve energy governance and administration To stimulate economic development To manage energy-related environmental impacts
It aims to provide a framework to increase in significant proportions the contribution of renewable energy in the energy mix mix. Main features:
Introduced the feed in tariffs. Standardized Power Purchase Agreements Agreements. Obligation of fossils fuel companies to mix products with biofuels up to 20%. Tax incentives on renewable energy technologies.

c) Long-term Measures (2012 2025): The development of large hydro power sites, namely Isimba (140 MW) Ayago (600MW) in 2012 namely, 2020 and Uhuru (300MW) Interconnection of the regional power grid; Use of new (like geothermal) and renewable sources of energy as well as biomass, like peat. Use of fossil fuels locally produced to generate thermal power
g y and other Thermal Power 1. Emergency Projects A total of 170 MW was procured.
50 MW Aggreko at Kira in Jinja which was decommissioned last year. 50 MW high speed diesel plant at Mutundwe which was decommissioned this year after Bujagali Hydropower plant started d operation. i Jacobsen As installed a 50 MW Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) plant on a Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis at Namanve in the Industrial Park. In future this plant will use locally produced heavy fuel oil. 20MW with HFO at Tororo by Electromaxx 20

A. Short Term Measures contd 2. Improving p g efficiency y of electricity y consumption p through adoption of the Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFLs) Replacement of 800,000 incandescent Lamps with CFLs reduced the peak demand by 30 MW. 3. Reducing power system losses 3 losses. A loss reduction program was implemented which has been reduced the losses from 36% to 27%

F. Transmission Projects Medium Term A number of transmission lines have been earmarked to evacuate power from the generation plants and transmit it to different parts of the country . These include: Nkenda Mputa Hoima (132KV, 254km); Karuma Kawanda (400KV, 264 km); Karuma Olwiyo (132KV, 60km); Karuma Lira (132 KV, 80km); Karuma-Gulu (132KV, 70km); Isimba interconnection (132KV, 40km); Kawanda Masaka (220KV, 142km). 30

B. Energy Auditing
Energy audits are carried out at the different levels aimed at identifying areas of improving efficient utilization of energy & cost reduction: A number of firms have been audited:-Hima Cement Southern Range Cement, Nyanza Ltd, Nile Breweries, Uganda Breweries Ltd, Steel Rolling Mills Ltd, Crown Beverages Ltd, Britania Ltd, Mukwano, etc. Energy Audit at Southern g Nyanza y Ltd Range
Case Study : Hima Cement Energy Efficiency Implemented Energy Audit conducted in Hima cement. The Audit made recommendations. recommendations Investment Cost in Energy Efficiency improvements was, U Shs. 1,160 million. After investment, the annual gy savings g was Energy i) 1,278,000 kWh ii) 636,000 litres of furnace Oil Annual Savings, Ug Shs. = 565 million Payback Period= 2yrs

4.0 CONCLUSION
The key energy challenge in Uganda is centered around lack of a mix of energy sources in power generation, low level of access to modern energy, inadequate infrastructure for generation, transmission and distribution and low level of energy efficiency. To address this, Government has prioritized Energy Development as a high level issue for the country and as a result considerable investment is being channeled towards development of energy infrastructure. Governments plan to provide adequate and reliable power supply is in progress with the commissioning of Bujagali hydropower project underway and development of large hydro and several renewable energy projects under development. With the development of the sector and increased access to modern energy services, the country is bound to 47 experience increased social economic development.
