In 2003, WENRECO, through competitive bidding, won a concession to generate, distribute, and sell electricity in the West Nile sub-region, consisting of eight districts and home to an estimated 2.3 million people.
The company owns a 1.5 megawatt heavy fuel electric generator and is part-owner and operator of the Nyagak I Power Station.
WENRECO is the implementer and co-funder of the West Nile Rural Electrification Project, which was initiated in 2013.
Funding for the project was provided by the government of Uganda, KfW, WENRECO, and the Energy Facility Pooling Mechanism.
These facilities are the main public electric power sources available to the West Nile sub-region, which is not yet connected to the national grid.
