The Power Energy & Solar Uganda Expo 2026, an international exhibition focused on power, electricity, solar energy, and the electric vehicle (EV) sector, will take place from May 21\u201323, 2026, at the UMA Show Grounds in Kampala, Uganda.
\nOrganized by Astrovision Global FZCO in collaboration with key industry associations, the inaugural edition is expected to host around 100 exhibitors from across the globe. Participating countries include India, Uganda, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Tanzania, South Africa, and Kenya, highlighting the event\u2019s strong international presence.
\nRecognizing the growing role of Southeast Asia in the global energy landscape, Power, Energy & Solar Expo 2026 warmly invites companies from ASEAN countries\u2014including Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam\u2014to participate as exhibitors. With Uganda\u2019s energy sector undergoing rapid expansion and rising demand for reliable power solutions, renewable energy technologies, and solar innovations, the expo presents a strategic entry point for ASEAN businesses seeking to explore opportunities in East Africa. Participating companies will have the opportunity to showcase their solutions, engage with key stakeholders, and build long-term partnerships in one of Africa\u2019s emerging energy markets.
\nThe expo aims to serve as a strategic platform for fostering business opportunities, strengthening trade relations, and encouraging collaboration within the energy sector\u2014particularly between Uganda and participating nations.
\nUganda\u2019s Growing Solar Energy Potential
\nUganda\u2019s solar energy sector is rapidly emerging as a vital solution to meet rising electricity demand, especially in rural regions with limited grid access. While the country\u2019s total installed capacity exceeds 1,400 MW\u2014primarily driven by hydropower\u2014annual demand growth of over 7% continues to create supply gaps.
\nSolar energy, currently contributing approximately 100\u2013150 MW of grid-connected capacity along with expanding off-grid systems, is gaining momentum through private investments and government-led initiatives aimed at achieving universal electricity access by 2030. With abundant solar resources averaging 5\u20136 kWh\/m\u00b2\/day, Uganda presents strong potential for renewable energy expansion, reduced dependence on hydropower, and sustainable economic growth.
\nDiverse Industry Showcase
\nThe three-day exhibition will feature a comprehensive range of sectors, including:
\n\u2022 Electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure
\n\u2022 Battery technologies and energy storage solutions
\n\u2022 Solar and thermal energy systems
\n\u2022 Wind and hydropower technologies
\n\u2022 Lighting and electrical fittings
