As a key player in Uganda's energy sector, Nankabirwa has been vocal about the need for sustainable energy solutions and equitable access to energy.

Uganda's Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa, has emphasized the need to prevent the widening of the energy poverty gap in developing countries amidst the rising demand for energy to power artificial intelligence (AI).

She made this call at the ADIPEC 2024 ministerial roundtable on energy transition and the role of emerging economies.

"The rise of energy demand for AI should not be allowed to widen the energy poverty gap in the developing world," Nankabirwa stressed, alongside notable figures such as HRH Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud, HE Suhail Al Mazrouei, HE Haitham Al Ghais, and renowned energy expert Daniel Yergin.
