URPC is developing a flagship 50 MW solar Independent Power Producer (IPP) project, integrated with a 20 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), designed to provide reliable baseload and dispatchable power to Uganda’s national transmission network. Our approach began with meticulous site selection in Karamoja, considering solar irradiance, land availability, and grid interconnection points to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact.

We engaged extensively with local communities and stakeholders to ensure transparent land acquisition and foster shared benefits. The project utilizes cutting-edge bifacial solar PV technology and a high-efficiency BESS to optimize energy capture and grid stability. Our development timeline has focused on securing all requisite licenses and permits, structuring a bankable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with UETCL, and preparing for an efficient financial close and construction commencement to meet the region’s urgent energy demands.
