Transforming Uganda’s Power Sector

The latest of GET.transform’s Impact Case Studies takes stock of Uganda’s journey which is not defined by one-off reforms, but by a broader evolution of its energy system—one that is learning, adapting, and preparing for the future.
At the outset, Uganda’s energy transition faced structural, regulatory, and market barriers that constrained investment and slowed implementation. In response, GET.transform adopted a systems-oriented approach, focusing on strengthening regulatory frameworks across four key market segments: Independent Power Producers (IPPs), distributed generation, mini-grids, and electric mobility.
