Kampala, November 4th, 2022 – TotalEnergies EP Uganda has today signed a Solar project agreement with the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development for the possible deployment of 120 MW of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology. The agreement aims at actualizing the collaboration between TotalEnergies EP Uganda and the Ministry towards ensuring energy security and energy transition in the country.
This collaboration follows the establishment of a framework agreement for the establishment of large-scale renewable energy projects in Uganda through an MoU signed on 1stFebruary 2022. Subsequently, the Government of Uganda identified and proposed 6 possible sites in: Kapeeka (20MW), Iganga (20MW), Tororo (20MW), Kumi (20MW), Bukedea (20MW) and Paliisa (20MW) for development by TotalEnergies EP Uganda.
Speaking at the signing, Mr Philippe Groueix, General Manager TotalEnergies EP Uganda said, "In line with our Global multi-energy strategy and commitment to develop 1GW of renewable energy in Uganda by 2030, TotalEnergies EP Uganda will undertake feasibility studies and develop these Solar PV projects in accordance with today''s signed project agreement and the applicable laws. The realization of this project development will also contribute towards our Global ambition to reach 100 GW of renewable production by 2030."
As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050, TotalEnergies is building a portfolio of activities in electricity and renewables. At the end of June 2022, TotalEnergies'' gross renewable electricity generation installed capacity is close to 12 GW. TotalEnergies will continue to expand this business to reach 35 GW of gross production capacity from renewable sources and storage by 2025, and then 100 GW by 2030 with the objective of being among the world''s top 5 producers of electricity from wind and solar energy.
TotalEnergies has been present in Uganda since 1955 through its marketing operations and has more than 200 stations countrywide. TotalEnergies EP Uganda is an upstream affiliate which is leading the development activities towards production in the Tilenga project area - License Area 1 (LA-1) and Contract Area 2 North (CA-2N) within the Albertine Region.
