Carbon Counts, with partners, has been appointed by UNIDO, on behalf of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), to support the Government of Uganda in strengthening its policy and regulatory framework for geothermal energy development.
Geothermal technology has the potential to provide affordable, efficient, low-emission, large scale, renewable power to Uganda. However, there is a lack of a clear and coherent geothermal policy, legal, regulatory and institutional framework to promote and facilitate geothermal energy production in Uganda.
As part of the CTCN technical assistance on Formulation of Geothermal Energy Policy and Law in Uganda, a range of stakeholder meetings were held this summer to discuss the options and issues for policy and legal development in the country.
