dc.description.abstractEnergy is a very important resource for national development. Uganda's energy mix comprises mainly biomass, petroleum products and electricity. Biomass is the main source of energy, contributing 92.3%. Petroleum contributes 6.3% and electricity 1.3% of the total energy consumption. The contribution of other forms of energy; wind, solar energy and biogas is negligible. Biomass is mostly used in households and small-scale industries. Petroleum and electricity are used in large-scale industries and in the commercial sector. It was envisaged that this study will be an important input into the National Vision, developed by the Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development, for the national development to the year 2025.en_ZA
