Abstract

On the basis of existing wind data of 11 Ugandan sites, an exploratory investigation was carried out; all the characteristic parameters are presented as well as the output potentiality of the sites; a territorial wind map was also tentatively drawn out. It is shown that the wind resource of most of the country is too small to allow electric generation, and should be exploited only for water-pumping with multibladed windmills. However, two promising areas were found near the east and the south-west borders, where an adequate, even though moderate resource is available, suitable for irrigation or some electric power for primary needs. A specific investigation in these areas is suggested to find better sites.
