Uganda: Geothermal energy to ease power shortage

Uganda has ratcheted up its efforts in developing its geothermal resources. According to technocrats in the energy ministry, the country is currently pursuing a vast programme that could see the nation feed geothermal electricity into its grid, in perhaps, less than half a decade. The development is part of an extensive government initiative to harness all possible sources of energy and in time, to permanently fix the continuing power supply instabilities.
