Release by Scatec says its redeployable solar and energy storage systems will enable African grid operators to shore up aging electricity networks. Some are saddled with debt and speculation continues about the potentially dominant role off-grid solar and private companies can play in the continent’s energy future. “If you only work with off-grid solutions, you will have to oversize your generation capacity. “We see the majority of the Release solutions being geared towards utilities, so they will be grid-connected.

Uganda-Kenya fall-out over secret fuel Gulf deal: Uganda to cut fuel imports from Kenya – The North Africa Post
Uganda’s government has passed a bill for the Uganda National Oil Business (UNOC), a state-owned oil business, to domestically buy and supply oil, thus ending its dependence on neighboring Kenya for its oil needs, thus taking its fate into its own hands. The bill is meant to terminate the present method of importing oil through Kenyan wholesalers but it is still pending an approval by the parliament. Kenya’s Mombasa port handles over 90% of fuel imports of Uganda, a landlocked nation, while Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port currently receives the remaining gasoline imports from Uganda, Nankabirwa noted. Meanwhile, Ugandan officials have reportedly expressed dismay over Kenya’s undisclosed government-to-government fuel deal between East African country and two Gulf nations. This falling out also threatens to seep into dollar exchange between the two countries at a time when the country desperately needs the greenback to pay for fuel imports.

They chanted slogans denouncing this “despicable attack which targeted innocent civilians in flagrant violation of international law”, while calling on the international community to assume its responsibility “to put an end to the actions of the polisario, “a terrorist entity which detains our brothers and bombs our sons”. These attacks, targeting civilians, “are aimed at undermining the security and stability prevailing in the Kingdom’s southern provinces” and “attest to the failure of the separatist thesis on diplomatic, military and political levels”, they stressed. The banners read: “Like Daesh, the polisario is a bunch of terrorists”, “The explosions at Es-Semara threaten the peace and safety of civilians in flagrant violation of international law, international humanitarian law and Security Council resolutions”.
