Uganda Solar Energy Policy-ONESUN Seeking Local Partners For LiFePO4 Battery OEM Factory & Solar Storage Solutions

ONESUN Partners with Ugandan Partners to Build a Lithium Battery and Solar Energy Storage Factory - Seizing New Green Energy Opportunities in Africa

As the global energy structure accelerates toward decarbonization and cleaner sources, solar power and energy storage technologies are becoming major drivers of the world's energy transition. In Africa in particular, the gap between rapidly growing electricity demand and underdeveloped energy infrastructure makes solar-plus-storage solutions among the most promising directions for growth. ONESUN, a globally recognized lithium battery and energy storage manufacturer, plans to jointly establish a localized solar energy storage and LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) battery manufacturing base with Ugandan partners in 2026, aiming to advance the green energy industry in East Africa.

1. Uganda's Green Energy Policy: Opportunities for Solar and Storage

In recent years, the Ugandan government has steadily promoted an energy transition and actively developed the renewable energy sector. According to Uganda's national energy strategy and the National Energy Policy 2023, the government has explicitly committed to achieving universal electricity access through clean technologies such as solar and energy storage, and to steering the energy mix toward low-carbon solutions.

Currently, the cost of solar generation in Uganda has fallen to about USD 0.051/kWh, making it one of the country's most competitive energy sources and creating a favorable market environment for solar investments.

At the same time, the Ugandan government has implemented feed-in tariff (FiT) policies for renewable energy to encourage private-sector participation in solar plant development, supporting projects up to 50 MW in capacity.

Notably, Uganda has approved the development of a 100 MW solar plant and a 250 MWh battery energy storage project, and plans to deploy more than 1 GW of solar and storage infrastructure nationwide.

These policy signals indicate that solar and energy storage will play a central role in Uganda's future energy system and present significant opportunities for global clean-energy companies.
