| description |
Uganda has just completed the first
donor-subsidized competitive bidding program for grid
connected solar photovoltaic (PV) generation in Sub-Saharan
Africa. Uganda’s GET FiT Solar Facility will provide a
performance-based subsidy of USc 5.37/kWh to lower the cost
to Ugandan consumers of the electricity produced from four 5
MW solar plants bid by two developers at an average price of
USc 16.37/kWh. This note analyzes the bidding process and
the lessons learned, for possible replication in other
developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. |
