West Nile sub-region

Arua lies approximately 475 kilometres (295 mi), by road, northwest of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and the largest city in that country.

As of May 2019, West Nile is supplied by the 3.5-megawatt Nyagak Hydroelectric Power Station, located at Nyapea, Zombo District.

[3] Meantime, construction of the 6.6-megawatt Nyagak III Hydroelectric Power Station is ongoing, with commissioning expected in 2022.

With 16 megawatts to the sub-region now, the current power shortage can be mitigated until the national grid connections arrive in the next two to three years.

Electromaxx has received authorization to transfer 12.6 megawatts of its installation at Tororo to West Nile, to alleviate the acute power shortage there.
