Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) has released its planned maintenance schedule for November 2026, which will cause temporary power interruptions in several parts of Kampala and other regions. Major trading centres including Owino Market, Nakasero Market, Kikuubo, the Old Taxi Park, Nasser Road, Nkrumah Road, Luwum Street and Nabugabo Road are among areas expected to be affected, particularly on 29 November when work will be carried out at the Old Queens Way substation. Nsambya Hospital, Arena Mall, and parts of Katwe, Makindye, Buziga and Nsambya are also listed for the same day. Other maintenance works are scheduled across Kampala North (affecting Kawempe, Maganjo and surrounding areas), the Entebbe corridor, and several locations in western, northern and eastern Uganda. UEDCL says the works involve servicing electrical equipment, replacing rotten poles, clearing vegetation and upgrading power lines to improve network reliability. The company has advised customers to plan ahead, noting that maintenance is a continuous process necessary to strengthen the electricity distribution system. Exact start and end times for each interruption are not specified in the public schedule.
