It is now confirmed!
Uganda is officially moving forward with its massive $4 billion oil refinery, a project set to reshape the country’s entire energy future.
The refinery will slash Uganda’s dependence on imported fuel while tapping into its 6.5 billion barrels of oil in place with up to 2.2 billion barrels recoverable.
Once completed, it will:
- Process 60,000 barrels per day
- Power local industries
- Boost national revenue
- Support new pipelines, storage hubs, and water infrastructure
For the first time ever, Uganda is on track to flip from importing fuel to exporting refined petroleum.
Production is projected to kick off around mid-2026.
London is now just 8 hours from Entebbe!
