Uganda faces electricity shortages because people need more power than what's available. The Energy Ministry admits many areas lack steady power but promises they'll fix this problem soon. They say they want to meet everyone's energy needs both well and for the long term.

Last year, people had reliable electricity, but that changed when demand grew beyond what the systems could handle. This will happen as Uganda switches from Umeme Ltd to the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Ltd starting April 1. Many electrical stations simply can't manage all the electricity people want to use right away.

Several issues cause these blackouts across the country. Some equipment broke down completely. Other systems still work but can't handle the growing number of users. Criminals target the Kawanda-Masaka power lines, making things worse for everyone. Areas near the Gulu highway, including places like Kiryandongo and Karuma, face extra trouble from fires that harm power lines.

The government claims it has started urgent repairs and improvements to make electricity more reliable. It focuses on places where power systems hit their limits. These efforts aim to help everyone access enough electricity for their homes and businesses without constant disruptions.
