Ayago Hydroelectric Power Station
[2] The power station will be located at Ayago, on the Victoria Nile, in Nwoya District, in the Acholi sub-region, in the Northern Region of Uganda.This location is close to the point where the Ayago River enters the Victoria Nile, within the confines of Murchison Falls National Park.[6] In 2008, the Government of Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), in collaboration with the Government of Uganda, began preparations for fresh environmental impact assessments, international bidding for a contractor and commitment as a lead funding source for the project.Both Mapa Construction and Trade Company of Turkey and the Gezhouba Group of China have lost interest in the project, partly due to failure to raise the necessary capital.[12] In February 2020, Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), a Chinese government-owned engineering and construction conglomerate made formal application to the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA), to design, fund, build, operate and maintain Ayago Power Station.
