Uganda is currently facing a huge electricity supply deficit; it has one of the world's lowest levels of electricity development as well as the lowest per capita electricity consumption. Over 90 percent of the country's population is not connected to the national grid, much of the electricity network at present is poorly maintained and country the experiences frequent power cuts. According to the National Development Plan (NDP- 2010/11-2014) the present peak demand of Uganda is about 400 MW or more which has been growing at an annual rate of 8%, to meet this growth with demand about 20 MW of new generating capacity needs to be added each year.
