Funding the sun with oil: A Ugandan dispatch from the Energy Indaba


The Africa Energy Indaba 2026 is thick with the energy narrative that finally shifts from potential to production. For years, Uganda paid for “deemed energy” – power produced but not consumed because our transmission lines could not carry the load. We are funding our green ambitions with “black gold.” The Ugandan government is explicit: oil and gas revenues will finance the Energy Transition Plan, targeting carbon neutrality by 2050. Mr. Humphrey Asiimwe will be among the distinguished speakers at the Africa Energy Indaba 2026 – Africa’s premier energy conference and exhibition – happening 3-5 March 2026, in Cape Town. Join policymakers, investors and innovators driving the continent’s sustainable energy transformation.
