The completion date for Karuma Dam — Uganda’s flagship $1.7 billion hydropower project — has been pushed to June 22, 2022 following routine inspection on June 25.

The Uganda Electricity Generation Company Ltd (UEGCL) said works on the 600MW dam on the River Nile in Kiryandongo were 98.8 percent complete, but the commissioning has been pushed by several months due to small but significant outstanding works.
