By 2025, Uganda will start the production of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to replace wood energy, according to a top official from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.
The locally produced liquefied petroleum gas is expected to be cheaper than the imported products on the market.
Mr Dozith Abeinomugisha, the director midstream, at the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU), says by 2025, Uganda will begin consuming LPG manufactured domestically.
This development was revealed during a tour to the oil field in Hoima by members the Energy Regulators Association of East Africa (ERAEA).
Government introduced tax reforms in the 2020/21 financial year that exempted LPG from the Value Added Tax (VAT) to make LPG affordable.
