AMEA Power Brings 24 MWp Ituka Solar Power Plant in Uganda into Operation

AMEA Power has commissioned a 24 MWp solar power plant in partnership with Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) in Uleppi, Madi Okollo District, Uganda.

The project, located in Uleppi, Madi Okollo District in Uganda’s West Nile region, is the first solar independent power producer (IPP) project in the region and the largest installed capacity IPP in West Nile. This follows the successful energization of the Project’s 25 MVA 132/33 kV substation in July 2026, which enabled the completion of reliability and performance tests and the commencement of power delivery to the national grid through the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL), the offtaker. The solar PV project is being implemented by Ituka West Nile Uganda Limited, a project company registered in Uganda and fully owned by AMEA Power. 

The 24 MWp solar power plant is expected to generate approximately 53,940 MWh of clean energy annually, helping to strengthen grid reliability while supporting the growing electricity needs and industrialisation ambitions of Uganda’s West Nile region. Furthermore, power more than 192,640 households and offset 26,600 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. The USD 27 million project was financed by debt and equity mix from AMEA Power and the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF).
