Roughly, half of the population in Uganda, (+22 million) is lacking access to energy services. Uganda's power sector relies on renewable energy resources, over 90%, and Nalubaale -Kiira hydropower plant (NKHPP) is responsible for 30% of the total installed capacity. In addition, because its strategic location at the outlet of the Lake Victoria, NKHPP controls water discharges from Lake Victoria to the Nile River. Therefore, NKHPP determines power production downstream (Nile Cascade), water availability for other purposes along the Nile river (agriculture, fishing, industries, navigation, water supply) and specially water levels in Lake Victoria, the second largest lake in the world. The hydropower plant is also the one with the cheapest cost of kWh produced in the country, USD cents 1.2, which helps to contain cost reflective tariffs for domestic consumers and commercial/industrial ones. Affordable electricity also comes in hand to support the most vulnerable households, particularly women, connected to the grid through a subsidized social tariff. However, NKHPP is the oldest power plant in Uganda (commissioned in 1954). As expected, age has taken its toll and refurbishment of turbines and associated equipments is necessary. Forced outage of the Nalubaale units and limited availability of the plant can consequently conduce to black-out or load-sheddings with bad consequences for the country economy, reason why rehabilitation of NKHPP is one of the Government top priorities. Better water management for power production and floods control are consistent activities to reinforce dam safety and to build resilience against climate change. Therefore, rehabilitation of the NKHPP hydropower plant in terms of its water regulation and electricity generation capacities - will improve power reliability and availability to connect more people, secure power production down the cascade, foster investment in not dispatchable renewable energy (mainly solar), support the economy decarbonisation and improve floods control and water resources management in a context of climate change for the benefit of millions of people leaving in the shores of Lake Victoria and along the Nile river. The main investment on the rehabilitation of the generation units will be accompanied on the one hand by an additional effort to digitalize control, operation and monitoring of the power plant and the water resource. And on the other hand, a tailored programme to reinforce the capacities of the power plant operator, UEGCL, to ensure sustainability and efficiency on the operation and maintenance."}, {"bbox": [86, 945, 442, 977], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.6 Logical Framework Matrix"}, {"bbox": [95, 991, 1124, 1125], "category": "Text", "text": "This indicative logframe constitutes the basis for the monitoring, reporting and evaluation of the intervention.
