Did you know that more than 1 million cubic meters of concrete were used to build 600MW Karuma Hydro Power Plant, enough to construct 10 Acacia mall-sized buildings? ⚡Karuma is one of the dams under our radar for operation and maintenance. #GeneratingSafelyForGenerations

Hon.Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu - we are not building an Energy Sector for today. We are building one for the next generation. That is why we must integrate artificial intelligence, digital grids, battery storage, and energy informatics, and we look to you in academia to lead the way.
