Logistics and network
Shipping to Uganda.
Consignments for Uganda move Sea to Mombasa, then road on the Northern Corridor to Kampala, about 1,100 km. Typical transit is 10 to 14 days to Mombasa, 5 to 8 days road; discharge at Mombasa (Kenya), then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Mombasa on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 415/240 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution; 132 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL, which took over the Umeme concession in 2025) and UETCL for transmission, regulated by Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA). Import conformity: UNBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC): Certificate of Conformity issued in the country of export for consignments above USD 2,000 FOB.
The power transformer line closed the last gap in the chain. Between distribution and power class we now cover 16 kVA right through to 20 MVA — a span very few regional manufacturers hold on a single site.
The standard substation build is 33/11 kV, Dyn11, ONAN, with an off-circuit tap changer at +5% to −10%. Where the network needs voltage regulation under load we fit an on-load tap changer at +5% to −15%, and where the load profile justifies forced cooling we supply ONAF with a rated output at each cooling stage.

Specifying
What changes for Uganda.
- Climate and site: Equatorial highland, 1,100 to 1,300 m altitude, 30 °C; altitude derating applies.
- Built to IEC 60076 for 50 Hz, with insulation levels for the 11 kV and 33 kV distribution and 415/240 V secondaries; temperature-rise limits and cooling sized for the stated ambient and altitude.
- Fittings, bushings and tap-changer ranges follow the utility specification (Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL, which took over the Umeme concession in 2025) and UETCL for transmission); type-test certificates from CPRI or ERDA accompany the offer.
- Documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, test certificates and the import conformity certificate where Uganda requires one.
