Nalubaale-Kiira hydropower plants (NK HPPs) rehabilitation project

About this project

<p><span style="color: black;">The specific objectives of the action are twofold: 1) to guarantee provision of green, affordable and reliable renewable energy by refurbishing of Nalubaa-Kiira 380MW hydropower plants ( NKHPPs) turbines and equipment and carrying out ancillary civil works, and; 2) to ensure economic/social infrastructure and livelihoods protection on the Nile River Basin by improving NKHPP resilience against climate change. This should contribute to the general objective of securing and extend access to clean energy (SDG7) beyond the actual 19% access rate to the grid to 60% by 2030 as per the Uganda National Development Plan III and to support further sustainable industrialisation (SDG9) while making more resilient the country and the Nile Basin against climate change impact (SDG13)</span></p>
