60,000 homes to benefit from the joint project of the Tanzanian and Ugandan government

In a collaborative effort, President Museveni of Uganda and Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu recently commissioned a 14-Megawatt Kikagate-Murongo Hydropower project intended not just to provide electricity but also to bolster development between the two countries.

The project which cost $100 million under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement between the two East African nations, was built by the Berkeley Energy firm. The site of the project is located along the Kagera River at the border of Uganda and Tanzania and has been in the works since 2017.
