The Historic Commissioning of the Kole-Gulu-Nebbi-Arua Transmission Line

Today, I officially commissioned the Kole-Gulu-Nebbi-Arua transmission line at Nebbi substation, a significant milestone for the Northern region. This connection brings West Nile into the national grid, addressing the long-standing power challenges in the area. The arguments pushed by people claiming we had forgotten West Nile were wrong. They were not serious; they were disruptive. When the NRM came into government, the only installed power in Uganda was Owen Falls Dam with a generation capacity of 150 Megawatts, with only four turbines (15 Megawatts each) working out of 10. Therefore, the total Megawatts in Uganda were 60 Megawatts. These disruptive voices fail to acknowledge our journey where we boosted capacity to 180MW and initiated an energy fund for future growth.
