Powering the future. Powering Kampala. ⚡

Our teams are making major strides reconductoring 132kV transmission lines around Kampala, a key component of the Kampala Metropolitan System Improvement Project.

Works on the 132kV Kampala North – Lugogo transmission line are nearing completion. This critical upgrade will strengthen and improve power transmission within the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, supporting a more reliable electricity network for homes, businesses and industries.

These moments capture the commitment, skill and resilience of the teams working on the ground every day to keep Uganda connected and powered.
