Energy China Group to Contribute to Uganda's Hydropower Development

China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (Energy China Group) signed an agreement on contracting the 400MW Kiba hydropower plant project in Uganda on Dec 30, 2020.

One of the nine large-scale cascade hydropower stations over the Nile initiated by the government of Uganda, the hydropower plant is a key part of the country's third national five-year plan.

With a total installed capacity of 400 megawatts, it is expected to improve power generation capacity in Uganda and optimize energy structure in the country and neighboring regions upon completion.
