In July 2025, a smart meter power plant worth Ushs 54 billion was inaugurated in Kawempe, Kampala, by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Development. The plant features full-scale production lines, quality control systems, and laboratory testing facilities with the capability to meet international meter manufacturing standards. When the plant is fully operational, it will have capacity to produce 600-700K single phase meters and 300-350K three-phase meters annually.

This investment by Henley Uganda Limited is aligned to the BUBU policy under Uganda’s import substitution strategy. Under a larger umbrella, this contributes to boosting manufacturing, a growth driver under the 10-fold growth strategy.
