Abstract:

Previous geothermal energy investigations that began in the 1950's have highlighted the importance of the resource as a viable alternative source of energy in Uganda. Studies aimed at evaluating the geothermal potential areas have been undertaken to a limited extent to encourage the development of this sub-sector. However, its development faces constraints that include the monopoly of hydropower in the energy sector. Yet measures have to be put in place to meet the future energy needs of the country, being faced with the fast-growing economy at an average of 6%/year for a decade now. A more serious attempt to articulate the strategic role geothermal energy research and development can play in the economic development of Uganda need to begin now to enhance the development of the sub-sector.
