Uganda's 100% Renewable Energy Scenario and Plan by 2050

Uganda Coalition for Sustainable Development (UCSD) and the International Network for Sustainable Development (INFORSE) as part of the East African Civil Society for Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Project (2019 -2022) have prepared Uganda's 100% Renewable Energy Scenario and Plan by 2050 The Plan provides a general overview of the Ugandan situation regarding energy supply and demand, and presents a scenario for how Uganda can move into a 100% renewable energy economy in 2050 and also move from a lower income country into an upper middle income country while sustainably harnessing its biomass resources along with other renewable energy sources. In the Plan, a basic analysis of the current total energy demand and supply patterns for Uganda is shown. Secondly a renewable energy scenario; universal access to modern energy services by 2030 (Sustainable Energy For ALL) is elaborated. Thirdly, a course of action is proposed which outlines how Uganda can contribute to the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
