Nkonge Solar Power Station

The Xsabo Nkonge Power Station (Xsabo Nkonge Solarline) is a US$22 million 20 MW/AC solar power plant in Uganda that has been registered by the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) in the national gazette for the implementation process following license issuance on 28 September 2020.

[1] When completed, Xsabo Nkonge Solarline is expected to be the largest grid-connected, privately-funded solar power plant not only in Uganda, but also in East and Central Africa, ahead of Soroti SPS (10 MW) and Tororo SPS (10 MW), and just a little bigger than The Xsabo Group‘s own Kabulasoke SPS with the same capacity of 20 MW, thanks to the Horizontal Tracking System that distinguishes Xsabo Nkonge Solarline from the solar project of the same brand in Kabulasoke.

[2] The power station is located in Nkonge Village, Bukuya Parish, in Kasanda District, in Uganda's Buganda Region.

Its output will be sold directly to the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited for integration into the national grid.

[4] Construction of Xsabo Nkonge Solarline, which was ceremonially launched on 31 March 2021 by Uganda’s Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi in the presence of Matthias Schauer, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Uganda, Gen. Charles Angina (Deputy Chief Coordinator of the Presidential Initiative “Wealth Creation”) and Norbert Mao (President of the Democratic Party) as well as other national leaders and dignitaries,[5] is expected to be concluded in time for commissioning by Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni end of June 2024 ahead of the 50 megawatts Xsabo Lira Solarline, whose commissioning is scheduled for the period around 31 December 2025.
