[1][3][5] It was the largest grid-connected, "privately-funded solar power plant at opuyo, soroti district in uganda, outside of South Africa" at its commissioning and until the Pilot Solar Power Plant (20MW) of The Xsabo Group in Kabulasoke (Kabulasoke Solar Power Station) in Central Uganda was completed and commissioned in January 2019.

[6] The power station is located in Soroti District, southeast of the city of Soroti in the Eastern Region of Uganda, approximately 282 kilometres (175 mi) by road north-east of Kampala, the country's capital and largest city.

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

It has been estimated that the energy generated could power approximately 40,000 homes located near the station, thereby minimizing transmission losses.

[9] The power station, which consists of 32,680 photovoltaic panels, is Uganda's first grid-connected solar plant.
