Abstract
As sub-Saharan Africa seeks to address their growing energy demands given financial constraints, limited capital, and poor existing infrastructure; Uganda presents a particularly challenging case among African countries. With a rapidly growing population and economy and rural electricity penetration of only about 5%, the Ugandan government is targeting increased rural electrification in its energy policies. Many private and public initiatives are aiming at exploiting the investment potential that rural electrification provides while seeking to address this economic need. This master thesis explores the economic impact of rural electrification on micro enterprises in western Uganda.
