UETCL Launches the Inaugural Edition of Grid Connect Newsletter

UETCL launched the inaugural edition of its new corporate newsletter, Grid Connect, on 9th May 2025 at its head office on Hannington Road. A tent was set up at the main entrance, and copies were handed out to staff, visitors, and partners as they arrived—marking the beginning of what promises to be a dynamic platform for sharing ideas, updates, and insights from across the organisation.

Grid Connect serves as a cross-departmental publication, with contributions from staff in all areas of the company—not just engineers, but also colleagues in finance, human resources, IT, administration, and more. This collaborative approach ensures the content reflects the full spectrum of experience and expertise within UETCL.

The first edition features a rich variety of articles exploring critical themes such as UETCL’s strategic direction, evolving approaches to risk management, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in the future of the energy sector. These stories, and many others, are designed to inform, engage, and spark conversation both within UETCL and across the wider energy community.

Published every six months and distributed both internally and externally, Grid Connect is positioned as a key communication tool—supporting transparency, promoting knowledge-sharing, and reinforcing UETCL’s leadership in Uganda’s energy sector.

As Grid Connect begins its journey, it offers readers not just updates, but a deeper understanding of the people, ideas, and innovations powering the grid behind the scenes.
