The GET FiT Uganda Programme was officially launched on May 31st 2013. the Programme, which was jointly developed by the Government of Uganda, the Electricity Regulatory Agency (ERA) and KfW was designed to leverage commercial investment into renewable energy generation projects in Uganda. GET FiT is being supported by the Governments of Norway, the United Kingdom and Germany as well as EU through the EU Africa Infrastructure Fund. Multiconsult ASA of Norway is the Implementation Consultant.
GET FiT Uganda is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program managed by KfW in cooperation with the Ugandan Government. The program leverages commercial investment in small-, and medium sized Renewable Energy (RE) projects in Uganda.
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) programs resulting in successful enabling frameworks for private investments in Renewable Energy (RE) are few and far between. In order to prove successful, the framework must be built from the bottom-up. This Lessons Learned briefing note outlines how GET FiT Uganda put in place the appropriate “building blocks” of a successful program and how the GET FiT approach can inform future efforts in other countries.
