Following an invitation by the European Commission, URC submitted an Expression of Interest to participate in the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) in Barcelona, Spain, highlighting key railway investment opportunities aligned with the EU Global Gateway Strategy.
URC's proposal was among the top two selected for publication on the event website, attracting interest and requests for further engagement from European entities.
The Managing Director, Mr. Benon Kajuna is in Spain, presenting URC's investment proposals and engaging European companies, investors and financiers to mobilise partnerships and funding in five key areas:
1. Greening of the KampalaโKasese Corridor.
2. โ Electrification and modernisation of the GKMA Commuter Railway, including electric/hybrid rolling stock.
3. โ Solar power generation along the TororoโGulu Corridor.
4. โ Development of Port Bell as a Green Port.
5. โ SGR Operations and Maintenance capacity building, technology transfer and support to the Railway Training Institute.
These engagements provide an opportunity to position URC's investment pipeline before European partners and mobilise technical and financial support for sustainable railway development in Uganda. โ at Kampala, Uganda

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Last evening, senior Ugandan and Italian officials gathered at the poolside of the Kampala Serena Hotel for an institutional coordination event focused on the Uganda Business Hub.
The event was organized by the Investment and Technology Promotion Office of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO ITPO) in Italy.

how long will Kampala City roads last?
Mwami Nyombi Tembo @UCC_ED should lead this effort @UCC_Official as the internet networking is creating one of the worst infrastructure this country has ever seen.
Energy is a public utility services. The South African model will fail - as elsewhere it had been tried. You can sell bread at whatever price not energy!
This creates a more resilient distribution network even when physical urban zoning is impractical. UECDL, KCCA and other cities, Utilities and @NWSCMD @nwscug @MoWT_Uganda @HonByamukama @DrMusenero @SanjayTanna444 should generate a debate about this issue.@ntvuganda @bbstvug
Poorly planned urban and industrial environments, electrical infrastructure should be organized according to load characteristics, power demand, and disturbance sensitivity, rather than simply following geographical proximity.
facilities are located in close proximity. In parallel, a clearly defined, hierarchical distribution transformer architecture should be established to improve load segregation, voltage regulation, fault isolation, and overall network reliability.
Captioned: Umeme CBD & Ndeeba
power-quality disturbances, and inefficient energy distribution, a comprehensive network-zoning strategy should be considered. This should include separating large-phase industrial loads from residential distribution networks, particularly where factories and residential
@KCCASpox @KCCAED @HajjatMinsa @kyofakabuye2 @RonaldBalimwezo @imutenyo @UEDCLTD @JRRwabwogo @mandyug @UIPE_Uganda Lack of physical planning, land use zoning are major challenges to stable power.
Suggestion to KCCA and UEDCL: to address voltage instability, @ubctvuganda
