 REPORT: 100% Renewable Energy Scenario and Plan by 2050 in Uganda

REPORT: 100% Renewable Energy Scenario and Plan by 2050 in Uganda - Feb. 2023 |
 |
The scenario presents how Uganda can move into a 100% renewable energy economy by 2050 and also move into an upper middle income country, while sustainably harnessing its biomass resources along with other renewable energy sources. |
|
In the report, a basic analysis of the current total energy demand and supply patterns for Uganda are shown. Secondly a renewable energy scenario; universal access to modern energy services by 2030 (Sustainable Energy For ALL) is elaborated. Thirdly, a course of action is proposed, which outlines how Uganda can contribute to the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). Within Uganda’s NDC, a focus on energy through introduction of improved biomass cook stoves and biogas is already highlighted. As part of securing a more ambitious NDC in line with the Paris Agreement, Uganda needs to take this to another level, through scaling up adoption of improved biomass cook stoves as well as their efficiency through Research and Development efforts. The Plan underscores that for Uganda, achieving universal energy access is as important as achieving a 100% renewable energy production target. It also recognizes that to be sustainable, the renewable energy solutions presented must address poverty and other social needs as outlined in Agenda 2030 / Sustainable Development Goals. Estimated Renewable Electrical Potential (MW): Hydro: 4100 MW large and 400 MW small Geothermal: 1500 MW (large) Biomass cogeneration 1650 MW (medium scale) Solar: no practical limit, all scales Wind: above 1000 MW (medium scale) The Scenario and Plan was prepered by Uganda Coalition for Sustainable Development and the International Network for Sustainable Energy (INFORSE) as part of the East African Civil Society for Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Project (2019-23).
