Uganda Grid Expansion and Reinforcement Project (GERP)

The development objective of Grid Expansion and Reinforcement Project for Uganda is to increase availability and efficiency of bulk electricity supply in the project areas. This project has three compents. 1) The first component, Construction of Transmission Infrastructure, is to provide increased electricity transmission capacity to meet the power supply needs of Northern Uganda and the West Nile region and to interconnect the isolated West Nile distribution network to the main transmission grid. It has two subcomponents as follows: (i) Transmission Line; (ii) Substation Works; and (iii) Engineering Construction and Supervision Consultant. 2) The second component, Project Implementation and Operational Support to Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL), aims to support the UETCL to enhance its project implementation capacity, contract administration, and operational effectiveness through technical assistance and modernization of management systems. It has three subcomonents as follows: (i) Capacity Assessment and Project Implementation Support; (ii) UETCL's System Modernization; and (iii) Biodiversity Off-set. 3) The third component, Sectoral Strengthening Support, has a critical role to fulfill in policy formulation and strategy, planning, and coordination of the growing and increasingly complex electricity sector. It has three subcomponents as follows: (i) Coordination and Supervision of Safeguards; (ii) Sector Skill Assessment; and (iii) Sector Skill Strengthening Program.
