DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY USE IN MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM- SIZE ENTERPRISES (MSMES) IN UGANDA THROUGH PROMOTION OF WATER USE EFFICIENCY TECHNIQUES AND PRACTICES. Implemented by Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (MTIC) in partnership with Uganda Cleaner Production Centre (UCPC)
Objectives of the Project To improve energy productivity and reduce adverse environmental impacts through adoption and implementation of energy efficient techniques and practices in MSMEs in the manufacturing sector. Specific objectives; • To create awareness about energy management and conservation among MSMEs. • To facilitate adoption and implementation of energy efficient techniques and practices in order to create model MSMEs for sustainable energy use in the sector
Energy challenges of industries especially SMEs • Poor Operating Practices (Management planning, procurement, maintenance, training, housekeeping, record keeping etc) • Use of obsolete technologies • Poor Technical status of equipment • Poor Choice of Technology • Inefficient Process control • Lack of information, knowledge and skills • Behavior/Lifestyles

Impact of Project Implementation Activities to date (1) Kayonza Growers Tea Factory Ltd • Extended withering trough from 22m to 25.5m (length) to accommodate large amount of green leaf leading to reduced specific energy consumption. • Replaced six motors rated at 30hp with 25hp motors to reduce energy consumption. This resulted into USD 22,870 savings • Constructed wood shade, introduced use of wood backs and repaired leaking steam valves which resulted into annual savings of USD 35,014 • Installed solar panels in labor camps
(3) Buhweju Tea Factory Ltd • Improved power factor to reduce power losses as reactive energy by procuring and installing a new capacitor bank of 600KVAR, this has improved power factor from 0.75 to 0.96. getting estimated annual savings of approximately USD 5,182 • Improved heat recovery system by recovering and reusing condensate to optimize use of lost heat • Technology Modification: Increase number of PVC rollers on sorting line to trap fibers in made tea resulting in improved quality and productivity.
