Authorities at the Bujagali Energy Project (BEL) have said the power plant is performing beyond expectation. There have been fears among sections of the public that the Bujagali plant is producing below its capacity of 250MW, with some citing this as a reason for power outages.
Dr. Kevin Kariuki, the head of infrastructure in the Aga Khan’s Industrial Promotion Services, said Bujagali cannot be blamed for the outages because one year after the commissioning of the project, BEL is performing ‘beyond expectations’.
“For the first year, we were expected to provide an availability of 95%. Today, we are providing 98-99%. There even months like February where we reached 100%,” he said.
