GET-FiT Uganda Annual Report 2015

Launched in May 2013, the GET FiT Uganda Program is designed to leverage private investment into renewable energy generation projects in the country. GET FiT is supported by several donors and the World Bank. The program targets the key barriers confronting investors looking at potential investments in small renewable energy projects (1–20 megawatts) in Uganda and aims to fast track up to 20 projects. Its main feature is a frontloaded results based premium payment designed to top up Uganda’s own renewable energy feed-in tariff. This report describes the main aspects of the program, early results achieved and future results expected, and how it is governed, monitored and funded.
