UEDCL Upgrades Kawanda Power Line to Improve Electricity Reliability in Greater Kampala

The Government, through the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL), is undertaking network upgrades and capacity enhancements to improve electricity supply reliability in Greater Kampala and surrounding areas.

At Kawanda Substation, UEDCL is upgrading the interconnecting power line following the allocation of additional electricity capacity by the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL). The intervention is intended to address capacity-related outages affecting Kakiri, Kawempe, Matugga, Bombo, Namugongo, Magigye, Gayaza, Manyangwa, Nakwero, Namulonge and neighbouring communities.

According to UEDCL Area Engineer, Eng. Peter Mwondha, the project involves replacing the initially planned underground copper cable with an overhead line to improve security, ease maintenance and minimise disruptions associated with cable theft and vandalism.

“ Our teams have already erected 17 pole structures and are currently stringing the lines. Completion is expected this weekend. Once finalised, power reliability will significantly improve for more than 4,000 customers in Kakiri, Kawempe and Namulonge,” Eng. Mwondha said.

He appealed to the public to keep away from active construction sites and report electricity theft and vandalism of power infrastructure to UEDCL, local authorities or the nearest police station.

The upgrade is part of a broader package of immediate, short-, medium- and long-term interventions being implemented by UEDCL to address persistent electricity supply challenges in Greater Kampala and Wakiso District.

UEDCL Acting Managing Director, Eng. Joselynne R. Rwabwogo, acknowledged that some communities continue to experience significant supply constraints, particularly in the Greater Bombo area, where limitations at Kawanda Substation and Magigye affect service delivery.

She revealed that UETCL and UEDCL are at an advanced stage of implementing an expansion of Kawanda Substation from 40 MVA to 80 MVA, targeted for completion before the end of 2026.

In addition, land has been acquired for the construction of Matugga Substation, while the required equipment is under manufacture. The investment is expected to substantially ease electricity supply constraints in the area by the second quarter of 2027.

Along the Hoima Road corridor, including Wakiso and Nansana, rapid industrial and residential growth has increased electricity demand beyond the existing network capacity.

To address this, a contractor is mobilising to construct a second power line from Kakiri Substation, where an additional transformer has already been installed.

UEDCL says these interventions form part of ongoing investments to strengthen the electricity distribution network, accommodate growing demand and deliver more reliable power to households, businesses and industries.

The Government continues to prioritise investments in electricity infrastructure to support economic activity, service delivery and improved quality of life. @UEDCLTD

Ladies and gentlemen, when we speak about the rule of law, we are not speaking only about courts, laws, or legal procedures. We are speaking about the very foundation upon which our societies are built.

We are speaking about a system in which everyone, from the ordinary citizen to the most senior public official, is equally accountable under the law. We are speaking about fair, transparent, and predictable institutions, and a society where rights are protected, obligations are respected, and justice is accessible to all.

The Head of Office, Austrian Embassy Development Cooperation,@Dr_KatjaK emphasized

The rule of law goes beyond courts, legislation and legal procedures. It is the foundation upon which societies are built, ensuring that everyone, from ordinary citizens to the most senior public officials, is accountable under the law.

President Yoweri Museveni has asked his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to expand market access for Ugandan products, including processed coffee, textiles, fruits, fish, leather goods, cereals, nuts and vegetable oils.

In a statement delivered by Vice-President Jessica Alupo at the Third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow yesterday, President Museveni said increased access to the Russian market would strengthen trade and economic co-operation between the two countries. #OpenGovUg
