TotalEnergies Uganda Launches First Public Electric Charging Station, Supporting Uganda’s Energy Transition and E-Mobility Growth

TotalEnergies Marketing Uganda, in partnership with Green Hub, has launched its first public electric charging station at the Wampewo Service Station in Kampala, marking a significant step in Uganda’s energy transition.

On November 6, Stephen Kaboyo, Chairman of the Board of Directors at TotalEnergies Marketing, highlighted that this initiative supports Uganda’s Energy Transition Plan—unveiled in late 2023—which aims to promote sustainable energy through renewable resources, improved energy access, and low-carbon solutions for a fair and inclusive transition for all Ugandans.

This launch underscores TotalEnergies’ dedication to advancing clean energy and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The Wampewo Service Station now also hosts Uganda’s first electric bike charging point within the TotalEnergies network, with plans to expand electric charging points to additional locations nationwide. This rollout aligns with the growing adoption of electric bikes, beginning with an initial fleet of 26 e-bikes from Green Hub.

Green Hub, an advocate for women in e-mobility, partners with TotalEnergies through a coalition including MTN, Centenary Bank, TVS, Women Rising for Africa, the Danish Embassy, and the Ugandan government. As part of this collaboration, TotalEnergies has donated $5,000 to support female riders in acquiring electric bikes and provided 400 helmets to enhance rider safety.

Additionally, TotalEnergies plans to introduce an electric vehicle (EV) charging point at select service stations across Uganda, in line with its commitment to cleaner and more accessible energy options. This expansion reflects TotalEnergies’ goal of adapting its products and services to meet the evolving energy needs of Ugandan customers.
