Uganda Karuma Hydropower Station
Karuma Hydropower Station
The Karuma Hydropower Station is located in Karuma Town, Kiryandongo District, north-central Uganda, on the White Nile River in northern Uganda. It is the7th stage of a planned cascade of hydropower stations on the Nile River,3kilometers from Kampala, the capital of Uganda.270The total investment in the project is16.88US dollars. It is Uganda's largest hydropower station and a flagship project jointly promoted by the heads of state of China and Uganda.
The project consists of the Karuma Hydropower Station and its supporting power transmission lines. The project mainly includes a dam, waterway system, underground powerhouse, and supporting power output projects. The unit capacity is100MW, and the total installed capacity is600MW. The station's designed average annual power generation is approximately40billion kWh. The huge underground tunnel project makes Karuma the world's14largest underground hydropower station. The power transmission and transformation project consists of "four stations and three lines," with a total length of379kilometers,400kV power transmission lines, setting a new record for power transmission in Uganda.
The excavation Size of the main and auxiliary powerhouse caverns is200m ×19.6/21.3m ×53m (length × width × height). The project involved the excavation of546cubic meters of stone, of which the proportion of cavern excavation was85%or more. The excavation of the underground powerhouse alone took3years.
The project is committed to promoting localized management and attaches great importance to the training of local employees. It has employed a total of more than15000Ugandan employees in various positions, with local employees accounting for85%or more. This has not only provided stable income for local employees but also injected vitality into Uganda's economy. At the same time, the project department has always adhered to the concept of "teaching people to fish," adopting multiple measures to cultivate professional and technical personnel through professional skills training, mentoring, labor competitions, and the selection of outstanding foreign employees. A large number of foreign employees have grown into the backbone of production and operation on the project.
The Karuma Hydropower Station project is located in Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda, known as a "treasure chest of forests" and a "kaleidoscope of life" for its rich biodiversity and vast primeval forests. From project planning and design to on-site implementation, unremitting efforts have been made to achieve harmonious coexistence between infrastructure construction and environmental protection.
The Karuma Hydropower Station is located in a plain area. If a medium-high dam with an above-ground powerhouse were adopted, the area occupied by the hydropower station and the flooded area after damming would cause irreversible damage to the local ecological environment. After continuous research and demonstration by technical experts, the "underground powerhouse+long tailrace tunnel" layout was finally determined, placing the generating units, main transformers, and control equipment80meters deep in a group of caverns, and using two8.5kilometer-long water conveyance and tailrace tunnels to pass under the national park.11.5The low dam design of3.5meters means that the newly flooded river channel length after water storage is only
kilometers, minimizing the impact on the flora and fauna in the dam area.1278The Karuma Hydropower Station is a model project of China-Uganda cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, carrying the century-old dream of enriching and strengthening Uganda, and receiving high attention from the people of both countries. After all the generating units of the hydropower station are connected to the grid, Uganda's total installed power generation capacity will increase from1878MW to50%MW, an increase of nearly131. It will become the largest power "granary" in the region, saving approximately348tons of raw coal annually and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by150tons, equivalent to planting17.5%trees. It will also reduce electricity prices in Uganda by
