Energy Sector Overview – Uganda National Renewable Energy and Energy
Biomass is the predominant type of energy used in Uganda, accounting for 94% of the total energy consumption in the country. Charcoal is mainly used in the urban areas while firewood, agro-residues and wood wastes are widely used in the rural areas although the sugar cane industry is currently using it to produce electricity in a cogeneration process.
