The low levels of solar PV adoption in Northern is in line with findings of the study by Munro and Bartlett (2019), whose reported that households in Northern Uganda depend on car batteries, cell torches, kerosene wick lamps and phone torches as their main source of lighting.

How can Uganda address the energy access gap?

To address electricity access gap and the negative effects associated with unsustainable use of biomass and fossils, the government of Uganda isdevising policies and programs to increase uptake of alternative renewable energies, such as solar photovoltaic devices ( MEMD, 2019; Energy Africa, 2018 ).

How can Uganda scale up solar PV investment?

As part of efforts to scale up solar PV investment, the government of Uganda introduced model contracts in their investment guides. Additionally, IRENA, the Terrawatt Initiative, and leading international law firms also supported Uganda by drafting simplified and standardised templates for solar PV documents that are publicly available.
