Energy Access: In Uganda, less than 4% of the rural population is connected to the electricity grid. Almost all households in rural areas depend for their energy needs on biomass, particularly woodfuel used in fireplaces and kerosine for a little light in the evening. Radios are operated on dry cells. People who can afford mobile phones and battery powered TVs depend on charging stations scattered around the country side.
