摘要

Sustainable development is literally fuelled by the electricity sector. In Uganda, the electricity sector has experienced dramatic market liberalization changes in recent years. The Power Sector Reform was characterized by the unbundling of the main government utility, Uganda Electricity Board (UEB), which had a monopoly, into three companies that were created to introduce competition and liberalize the electricity industry. This led to the creation of a regulatory body. A rural electrification fund, agency and board were also formed to subsidize rural electricity investments. This is part of the Government of Uganda’s new holistic approach to long-term energy planning. This paper discusses the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) in the planning process for rural electrification. The aim is to identify patterns of demand and priority areas of need. By creating a demand-side scenario, electricity can then be supplied to targeted areas. A cross-sectoral view is taken to examine the energy demand patterns using physical data and available country statistics that are then incorporated into a GIS master database. The initial priority demand-side sectors targeted, in terms of energy needs, are education and health. As a result of this preliminary work, areas can be identified and targeted for rural electricity investment, which include off-grid renewable energy plants such as small-scale hydropower schemes.
