Why do we need hydropower & solar energy in Kampala?

Therefore, the sustainable energy portfolio for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area relies heavily on hydropower and PV-solar technologies for electrical power production because hydropower & solar energy are abundant in the GKMA, and their presence in the energy mix promotes SDG7.

How sustainable is the Kampala Metro?

The analysis shows that sustainability is plausible by optimizing the total primary energy supply, electrical power production from PV-solar & hydropower technologies, and switching 90% of passengers of the road category to the Kampala metro. 1. Introduction

Will electrified Kampala Metro reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?

The GKMA-TIMES model analysis shows that the consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector would reduce if management sets up an electrified Kampala metro and switches 90% of the passengers to the railway category.

What is Uganda's energy policy framework?

Uganda’s energy policy framework consists of the constitution of Uganda, the national development plan, public energy management institutions, development partners, and enacted Acts and policies. 2.1.1.

Does Uganda have geothermal energy?

Geothermal energy in Uganda, country update. Proceedings World Geothermal Congress 2010 Department of Geothermal Survey and Mines, Bali, Indonesia ( 2010), pp. 1 - 8 Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action Study on Sustainable Charcoal in Uganda United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), New York, USA ( 2013) M. Bazilian, p.

Why does Kampala need an electrified Metro?

The metropolitan depends on imported refined petroleum through Mombasa, Kenya. Petroleum demand reduces by 45.21% when 90% of road passengers switch to the passenger railway category. Therefore, the construction of an electrified Kampala metro becomes the central focus for policy changes over the planning period. Figure 7.

Grid Energy Storage

Introduction. Grid energy storage is a collection of methods used to store energy on a large scale within an electricity grid. Electrical energy is stored at times when electricity is plentiful and cheap (especially from variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar), or when demand is low, and later returned to the grid when demand is high and electricity prices tend to be higher.
