Abstract

Karuma Hydropower Project (hereinafter referred to as “Karuma HPP” or “the Project”) is located
near Karuma Village in the northwest of Uganda. It is the 3rd of the seven cascade hydropower
stations planned on the Victoria Nile River in Uganda. The dam site is about 2.5km upstream of
Masindi-Gulu Highway. The tailrace outfall is located in the National Park,
about 9km downstream of Karuma Bridge. The project area is accessible from the Entebbe
International Airport about 300km away. The project location, Karuma, is about 110km to the highway
in the northeast of Masindi, and about 70km to the highway in the south of Gulu.
In 1999, NORPAK, Norway, an independent developer envisaged the run-of-river hydropower development
of Karuma HPP in two phases, with a total estimated installed capacity of 200MW, including 100MW in
the first phase and 200MW in the second phase. However, due to many reasons, NORPAK decided not to
develop the project any further and
the project was reverted back to the Uganda Government for implementation.
