ENGIE Equatorial is a joint venture between ENGIE Energy Access, an international renewable energy solutions provider, and Equatorial Power, a local low-carbon energy infrastructure and services developer based in Kampala, Uganda. An estimated 30,000 fishing boats are operational in Uganda’s territory of Lake Victoria, almost all of
them powered by petrol engines. With support from PREO, ENGIE Equatorial has piloted 15 electric boats (e-boats) on Lolwe Island and powered them through its 600kWp mini-grid.
