Nyamagasani I Hydroelectric Power Station, also Nyamagasani 1 Hydroelectric Power Station is a hydroelectric power project, under construction in Uganda.[1]
The power station is located near the village of Kyarumba, in Kasese District,[2] approximately 45.3km (28.1miles), by road, south-west of Kasese, the nearest large town.[3]
Nyamagasani I Hydroelectric Power Station is a run-of-river hydro-power plant, with initial planned capacity installation of 15MW, when completed. The project lies across the Nyamagasani River, adjacent to its sister project, Nyamagasani II Hydroelectric Power Station, high in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, at an average elevation of about 1392m (4,567feet).[4] The project company, Rwenzori Hydro Private Limited, is majority-owned by DI Frontier Market Energy & Carbon Fund, a Denmark-based renewable energy investment company.[2]
The construction of this power station is budgeted at US$36.7 million, with US$9.4 million, in GetFit concessions.[1]
