6 FAQs about [Kampala Energy Storage Project]

How sustainable is the Kampala Metro?

The analysis shows that sustainability is plausible by optimizing the total primary energy supply, electrical power production from PV-solar & hydropower technologies, and switching 90% of passengers of the road category to the Kampala metro. 1. Introduction

Why do we need hydropower & solar energy in Kampala?

Therefore, the sustainable energy portfolio for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area relies heavily on hydropower and PV-solar technologies for electrical power production because hydropower & solar energy are abundant in the GKMA, and their presence in the energy mix promotes SDG7.

Will a new refinery be built in Uganda?

The construction of the first refinery in Uganda is yet to be realized. The refinery could meet 100% of GKMA’s demand for petroleum products and thus reduce substantially the dependence on imported refined fossil oils that exposes the metropolitan to the traditionally unstable world oil market.

Will electrified Kampala Metro reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?

The GKMA-TIMES model analysis shows that the consumption of fossil fuels in the transportation sector would reduce if management sets up an electrified Kampala metro and switches 90% of the passengers to the railway category.

What is gkma doing in Kampala?

GKMA invested heavily in a Kampala metro system, fly-overs, intelligent interchange junctions, and underpasses linking the populated areas of the metropolitan as a mitigation for traffic jams and congestion. The Clock-tower, the Yard, and Wandegeya junctions are a wonder to commuters of the year 2022.

Where is the Kampala metro system located?

These three junctions were transformed into interchanges with subways leading to the main interchange of the Kampala metro system situated at the former Amber House on Kampala Road from the year 2022. The main interchange of the Kampala metro is typical of Gare du Nord in Paris, France.
