Case Hospital, Uganda

Ugandan hospital cuts costs with captive solar

A private hospital in Kampala, Uganda, has commissioned Spark development partner enPower.life to install a 65kWp rooftop solar PV system in a bid to reduce costs and reinforce its commitment to sustainability.

Incorporated in 1995, Case Hospital provides round-the-clock healthcare services in the Ugandan capital and has consistently been ranked among the country’s top ten private healthcare facilities over the past three years. However, in recent years it has faced increasing operating expenses, prompting the hospital to turn to enPower.life (which has offices in Hamburg, Germany and Kampala), to provide an affordable clean energy solution that cuts energy bills and overall expenses. Spark subsequently agreed to provide 100% upfront funding to enPower.life for the project.


The grid-tied installation was completed at the 100-bed Case Hospital in June 2024 and is intended to provide a significant reduction in like-for-like electricity costs, while also saving around 27 tonnes of greenhouse gases per annum. The works also mark the first Spark-financed project in Uganda as well as the first healthcare project supported through the platform.


"This project represents an important step for Spark as we expand our presence within East Africa and enter the healthcare sector for the first time, a sector which is well aligned with our impact thesis,” said Adam Fitzwilliam, who heads up the Spark team at Camco. 


“By delivering affordable clean energy to Case Hospital, we are not only helping to reduce their operational costs but also reinforcing our commitment to supporting sustainable development across diverse sectors in the region’s commercial and industrial space.”
