UETCL

#Breaking UETCL has successfully energized the 220/132/33kV Buloba Substation this evening at 6:49 PM. Equipped with 2×125 MVA and 2×40 MVA transformation capacity, the substation is a key component of the Greater Kampala Transmission System Improvement Project designed to strengthen and stabilize power supply across the region. @UEDCLTD will soon energize local feeders serving Kabulasoke, Mutundwe, Kyengera, Mpigi, and surrounding areas.

@jalleerick82326 Hello, please refer to our communication here

Several pylons supplying power from Karuma to westnile are down due to substandard purchase and see, what will this add to the current power crisis going on?

Hi Mo, UETCL continuously works with security agencies and communities to protect transmission infrastructure. Given the vast distances covered by transmission lines, protection remains a shared responsibility. Under the Electricity Act, vandalism of electricity infrastructure is a criminal offence and offenders are dealt with in accordance with the laws of Uganda.

@uetcl @KwameEjalu @ERA_CEO1 @ERA_Uganda @MEMD_Uganda @NankabirwaRS @GovUganda @MauriceMugisha You are always sleeping. Why don't you have video monitoring real-time and electric fencing on those as well as cameras. Make an example of 2 people

Public notice‼️

Hi Andrew, we understand the concern. However, as a government agency, UETCL is required to operate within the provisions of the @PPDAUganda Act, even during emergency situations. The ongoing process is being handled under the applicable emergency procurement provisions to ensure restoration works are undertaken lawfully, transparently, and with accountability for public funds.

@uetcl @MKarekye @KwameEjalu @ERA_CEO1 @ERA_Uganda @MEMD_Uganda @NankabirwaRS @GovUganda @MauriceMugisha Absolute rubbish. Why follow procurement procedures when this is an emergency? At times, common sense is better than yours rigid reasoning.

@markkwiki Hi Joseph, our colleagues @UEDCLTD should be in better position to respond. Regards.

@uetcl The entire Mubende Town has not had Electricity since early Yesterday night. Can we be helped work is stagnant here. A humble request.

Honouring the commitment that keeps the grid strong and the lights on. Happy #LabourDay.

UETCL is carrying out essential maintenance works, including reconductoring of transmission lines, as part of efforts to improve power reliability across the greater Kampala area. ⚡️ If you are within the affected locations, please take note of the safety dos and don’ts shared and cooperate with our teams on the ground. #TransmittingForTransformation

We hosted the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) Board of Directors & Management at our Tororo pole treatment plant today. The delegation, led by the Chairperson Board represented by Eng. Eriasi Kiyemba, was received by the UETCL team led by Mr. Godfrey Masaba on behalf of the CEO. The plant plays a key role in treating and preserving wooden poles used in our transmission infrastructure, ensuring durability, safety, and network reliability. The visit reaffirmed our commitment to safety, environmental compliance, and efficient power transmission. We appreciate ERA’s continued support as we keep #TransmittingForTransformation towards a sustainable energy future. @ERA_Uganda @KwameEjalu @NankabirwaRS @MEMD_Uganda

#UETCLWorks: UETCL has commenced stakeholder engagements ahead of the reconductoring works under the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Transmission System Improvement Project. The exercise, set to begin on 5 May 2026 across Mukono, Kampala, and Wakiso, targets 132 kV lines and aims to enhance capacity, reliability, safety, and grid flexibility. Today’s engagements brought together local leaders from Makerere (1, 2 & 3), Mulago (1 & 2), Bwaise, Dobbi, Zone B & C, Sebina, among others. Safety Always remains our top priority as we work closely with communities to ensure a safe and successful project. @ERA_Uganda @KwameEjalu @NankabirwaRS @MEMD_Uganda @JicaUganda

Meeting growing demand with stronger infrastructure 💪🏾⚡️ With JICA’s support, UETCL is implementing the Kampala Metropolitan System Improvement Project, aimed at upgrading high-voltage power infrastructure to meet rising demand and ensure stable, reliable electricity supply. The Buloba Substation, energized on 19th April 2026, marks progress on this project, bringing us closer to a more resilient and future-ready power network for Greater Kampala.

UETCL just energized the 220/132/33kV Buloba Substation. With 2×125 MVA + 2×40 MVA capacity, it’s key to stabilizing power in Greater Kampala. @UEDCLTD to power up feeders in Kabulasoke,Mutundwe, Kyengera, Mpigi & nearby soon. #GoldenPosts @GovUganda @uetcl @UEDCLTD

UETCL team wrapped up the Uganda Power and Energy Forum 2026 hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) at Makerere University. The forum held under the theme "Preparing the next generation of engineers for Uganda's energy value chain was an incredible gathering of industry leaders, innovators, regulators and policymakers dedicated to shaping the future of energy in Uganda. We explored cutting-edge technologies, sustainable practices, and collaborative strategies to address the energy challenges we face. A big thank you to all the speakers, attendees, and sponsors who made this event a success.

Grateful to @IEEEorg Makerere University Student Branch for this opportunity and can’t wait to engage with you all at the Uganda Power & Energy Forum 2026. @uetcl @UegclOfficial @ERA_Uganda @IEEEFoundation @UEDCLTD @IEEEEduWeek @Makerere

Big vibes at UETCL! ⚡🎉 We were delighted to host the amazing team from NRG Radio at our Head Offices as they stopped by with a cake and brought incredible energy to celebrate our 25 years of service in Uganda’s energy sector. From the music to the laughter, and even a few attempts at teaching our staff how to zep 😂! Their excitement lit up the building and made the milestone even more special. Thank you for the love and support! 💛

A strong start to the 20th Internal Audit Conference at Speke Resort Munyonyo.
