Energy in East Africa is two stories happening at once. The grid story, with geothermal power in Kenya, hydropower across the region and Uganda's recent oil discoveries, is dominated by state utilities and large private operators. The off-grid story is bigger and more entrepreneurial: solar home systems, mini-grids, productive-use solar for water pumps and cold storage, biogas digesters on dairy farms, and clean-cookstove distributors reaching markets the grid will not arrive at for decades.

EABD lists solar installers, mini-grid developers, oil and gas service contractors, hydro operators, biofuel producers, and the equipment importers behind them. Verified profiles let buyers, from a county procurement office to a single homeowner, find an installer near them with a verified track record, and contact them without phoning every advert in a Whatsapp group.

About Uganda

Uganda's economy is built on agriculture, growing manufacturing capacity, the oil discoveries in the Albertine Graben, and a vibrant Kampala-centred services sector. The country's central location makes it a hub for landlocked trade serving South Sudan, eastern DRC, Rwanda, and Burundi.

EABD lists verified Ugandan businesses across Central, Eastern, Northern, and Western regions, with deep coverage of Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, and the other major urban centres. Verification cross-references URSB registration where applicable. The directory is built to help buyers find suppliers, investors find opportunities, and the Ugandan business community trade with each other and the wider East African region with confidence.
