UAE-based AMEA Power is constructing a 24 MWp PV project in Uganda, managed by its subsidiary, Ituka West Nile Uganda Limited. Located in Ombachi village, Madi Okollo District, this plant is expected to generate approximately 53,940 MWh of clean energy annually. The project is anticipated to supply electricity to over 192,640 households and cut carbon emissions by around 26,600 tonnes per year. The development will feature a substation and connect to the Lira-Gulu–Nebbi-Arua 132 kV transmission line operated by Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Ltd. Scheduled for completion in Q3 2025, it will be the largest utility-scale PV project in the West Nile Region. The $19 million funding was secured at COP28 through the Regional Liquidity Support Facility, with agreements also formalized with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.
