Uganda - Implementation of the Nyagak III Small Hydropower Plant (2 x 2.2 MW) - Consulting Services as Owner's Engineer
The Government of Uganda developed a programme "Efficient and Sustainable Energy Supply in Uganda" for which German KfW committed grant financing for selected investments in the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency. One of the projects supported under this programme is the construction of Nyagak III Small Hydro Power Project (SHPP). The SHPP is designed as run-of-river plant, with an installed capacity of 2 x 2.2 MW and an expected maximum generation of 27.1 GWh per year.
The Nyagak III SHPP shall be implemented as a public-private partnership (PPP) for which UEGCL and the PPP partner will establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that will undertake the construction and operation of the SHPP.

Maldives - Sustainable Energy Development for the outer islands
Maldives has 194 inhabited islands, each of which is electrified with its own diesel-powered mini grid system (total installed diesel generation capacity of 100 MW + 100 MW on the tourism islands). In 2012, the cost of diesel power required government subsidies of more than 40 million US$.
On the other hand, Maldives has significant renewable energy resources, particularly solar and - to a minor extent - wind energy. Given the cost of diesel, the Government initiated two programmes to extend the use of renewable energies in electricity generation. The present project covers the design, tendering, and implementation of hybrid solar / battery / diesel mini-grids on 166 islands, with a total of 25 MW solar (PV) power, a total of 8 MWh storage capacity and 44 diesel power plants. Systems are roof-top or ground-mounted and have a size of between 3.5 kW and 1,600 kW per system.
