We have successfully secured a grant of £238K for Energy Catalyst round 9. Our feasibility project started in January 2023 for 12 months. Kinetic Hydro Ltd is the lead on the project with three partners; University of Leister, Challenges Catalyst and Practical action

The purpose of this project is to determine how feasible it is to use our river turbine to accelerate access to affordable, clean energy services in Uganda.

The University of Leicester will develop satellite techniques to assess how deep and fast the rivers in Uganda are Challenges Group, a Scottish-African development agency will conduct market assessment and deliver a commercialisation strategy for Uganda. Practical Action will conduct on the ground research.

Energy Catalyst funding enables us & our partners to focus our respective expertise on applying river turbines to addressing SDG7 in Uganda. This will pave the way for future projects to have positive impacts on energy access to poor and rural households in future years
