The Bujagali Dam is the "best long-term solution" to help reverse Uganda's power problem, according to the project's director, Glenn Gaydar. Gaydar works for Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL), which The main structures of the project include a powerhouse accommodating five Kaplan turbines of 51MW each, a gravity dam 900 m long, a gated spillway and a siphon spillway and three sections of the dam in rockfill with a clay core. Bujagali Hydropower plant has been in operation since February 2012, it aims to produce the 50 per cent of the total The government of Uganda, with help from the World Bank, wants to construct a 200-megawatt dam near Bujagali Falls on the Nile, just downstream from two other large dams.The costly dam's power would not meet the needs of the vast majority of the country's population, would drown a sacred waterfall, and could do further harm to Lake Victoria, the world's largest tropical lake.With the commissioning of Bujagali Hydropower, the proportion of Uganda's electricity supply being generated from renewable sources rose to 90 percent, making the country's electricity supply one of the cleanest in the world. Since 2012, the project has been improving the quality of life for Ugandan in many different ways. The Bujagali Hydropower Project ("the Project" or HPP) is a proposed 250 MW hydropower facility on the Victoria Nile in the Republic of Uganda. The project sponsor is Bujagali Energy Limited, a project-specific partnership of SG Bujagali Holdings Ltd. (a wholly owned affiliate of Sithe Global Power, LLC) and IPS Limited (Kenya). The government of Uganda, with help from the World Bank and African Development Bank, is constructing a 200-megawatt dam near Bujagali Falls on the Nile, just downstream from two other large dams. The costly dam's power will not meet the energy needs of most Ugandans, will drown a treasured waterfall, and could harm Lake Victoria, the world's largest tropical lake.
