About a year to the expiry of Umeme Ltd’s electricity distribution concession, players in energy sector are divided over its legacy but united in saying its achievements and challenges offer vital lessons on the role of private sector in the country’s electricity production and distribution value chain.
The company’s 20-year power distribution agreement is scheduled to expire on March 31 next year after a government decision not to renew the contract. The power utility is listed on the Uganda and Nairobi Securities Exchanges.
