Bujagali Falls
Bujagali Falls (also spelled Budhagali) was a waterfall near Jinja, Uganda, Jinja in Uganda where the Nile River comes out of Lake Victoria, sometimes considered the source of the Nile. Starting November 2011, the falls were submerged by the new Bujagali Dam. Dam An acute electricity crisis impacted the livelihoods of millions of Ugandans and threatened the country's development. Hospitals, schools, businesses, and residences suffered daily power shortages, which have stunted Uganda's economic growth by an estimated one percent of the country's gross domestic product. The Bujagali project is a 200MW hydropower facility on the Victoria Nile in Uganda that will help address the country's energy crisis. The project supports Uganda's broader development strategy, which focuses in large part on improving the investment climate to promote growth and reduce poverty. Others say the costly dam's power will not meet the needs of the vast majority of the country's population, will drown a ...

Bujagali Hydroelectric Power Station
The Bujagali Power Station is a hydroelectric power station across the Victoria Nile that harnesses the energy of its namesake; the Bujagali Falls, in Uganda. Construction began in 2007 and concluded in 2012. It was officially inaugurated on 8 October 2012 by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and Aga Khan IV in the presence of African politicians and investors. The capacity of the power station is 250 megawatts. The station was the largest hydroelectric energy source in Uganda, at the time it was commissioned. However, the planned Karuma and Ayago power stations would be larger. The funding for the station was a source of some concern, as investors joined and departed from the project. As of July 2014, the plant was managed by Bujagali Energy Limited, which selected Italian contractor Salini Impregilo to develop the project. Location The power station lies across the Victoria Nile, about north-west of the central business district of the city of Jinja and immediately ...
