The National Union of Coffee Agri business and Farm Enterprise (NUCAFE) has made a breakthrough to become the first coffee organization in East and Central Africa to commission an industrial-capacity solar power plant at its coffee processing factory outside the capital of Kampala.
This will facilitate production and export of the first of its kind, “Uganda Carbon Neutral Coffees”. It will also save 241.3 tons of CO2 emissions per annum from the atmosphere and planet earth. This has all been possible with support of aBi, NCF/NDF and NIRAS.
A Ugandan firm, Village Energy, undertook the installation of the solar facility which consists of 442 panels capable of producing 172 kWp.
