Uganda: AFD Gives Uganda €37.1m for Power Transmission Line

Uganda will receive €37.1 million (about $44.2 million) from the Agence Française de Dévelopement (AFD) after the two parties signed a financing agreement for the upgrading of a key transmission line.

The financing of the 400 kV transmission line upgrade project will cover a distance of 135km between the towns of Masaka and Mbarara, according to a statement from the AFD. At the end of the upgrade, it is expected the transmission line will help in the evacuation of power from different sources and enable exports of electricity to neighbouring countries such as Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
