On my day 2 of the Kampala Metropolitan Transmission System Improvement Project site inspections, I reaffirmed Government’s commitment to strategic energy infrastructure that supports industrialization, economic transformation and national development through reliable and efficient electricity supply.
I commend @uetcl, contractors and project teams for the steady progress registered under the Kampala Metropolitan Transmission System Improvement Project and emphasized the importance of timely delivery of all project components.
Team UETCL is proudly participating in the March edition of the Corporate Games at Maroons Grounds, Luzira. With determination, teamwork, and resilience, we continue to show up and give our best. 💪🏾
Today, I addressed @uetcl’s 17th Annual General Meeting for FY 2024/2025.
The results are encouraging. UETCL recorded a 9.3% increase in revenue from energy sales, reaching UGX 1,672.8 billion, alongside an 11.8% growth in electricity sales volumes to 6,745.08 GWh, and maximum system demand growing to 1,202.9 MW.
These figures reflect not just corporate performance, but real momentum in Uganda’s energy infrastructure. A reliable, expanding transmission network is the backbone of our industrialisation agenda and our commitment to universal access to electricity.
I commend the UETCL Board, under the leadership of Chair Kwame Ejalu, and the entire senior management team for their continued focus and discipline.
We are building the Uganda we want, one megawatt at a time.
This morning, a team from Bujagali led by Alaister paid a courtesy visit to UETCL CEO to congratulate him. The CEO and GM appreciated the role of maintaining a high performing plant. @uetcl@ERA_Uganda@UEDCLTD@TotalEnergiesUG
The Board of Directors of the @PAU_Uganda, by Ms. Lynda Biribonwa - Board Chairperson, paid a benchmarking visit to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) National Control Centre in Lugogo, Kampala.
The delegation was received by the UETCL Board Chairman, Mr. @KwameEjalu, where he shared insights on Uganda’s national grid coverage, key achievements, ongoing and upcoming projects, as well as sector challenges. The engagement provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration and knowledge exchange in advancing Uganda’s energy future.
Mr. Kwame expressed appreciation to the PAU Board for choosing to visit and benchmark with UETCL at a time when petroleum exploration activities in the country are transitioning into the operational phase of the oil and gas industry.
“Your decision to learn from a company with over 25 years of experience in managing and operating Uganda’s national electricity grid reflects a strong commitment to strengthening the energy sector. This visit has undoubtedly fostered valuable insights and knowledge exchange within the industry,” Mr. Kwame said.
The PAU Board members were later taken on a guided tour of the National Control Centre, where they gained first-hand insight into the behind-the-scenes operations of Uganda’s national electricity grid.
The experience and expertise gained during the visit are expected to contribute to the adoption of best practices within the petroleum sector, aligning with the shared national goal of building a robust and integrated energy framework for Uganda. Cc @NankabirwaRS@uetcl_ceo.
