Large Hydropower to Dominate the Market
In 2018, large hydropower installed capacity accounted for more than 50% of the total hydropower installed capacity across the world.
In line with the hydropower master plan, the Government of Uganda is fast-tracking the development of the identified hydropower sites. The country is currently implementing two flagship hydropower projects including Isimba (183.2 MW) and Karuma (600 MW). Other large hydropower plants being developed include Ayago (840 MW), Orianga (392 MW), Uhuru (350 MW), and Kiba (290 MW). These projects are expected to boost the large hydropower capacity in the region in the coming years.
Another major project under development is the 1,800 MW Grand Eweng project which is expected to be the fourth largest hydropower plant in Africa following its completion in 2024. Other planned projects include Kpep (485 MW) and Makay (365 MW). With these projects, Cameroon is expected to have added about 3,000 MW of hydropower capacity by
