Off grid energy Uganda -Europe's Solar Ascent

Scales of accountability: Solar mini-grids and clean energy for all

Like several African countries, Uganda is a context with low access to clean energy, with peak electricity demand of approximately 850 megawatt (MW) for a population of about 50 million, and grid capacity of about 1.2 gigawatt (GW), thus exceeding peak demand. Most of this electricity (about 85 % most years) is sourced from hydropower, but as of 2021
