Unpredictable rainfall, prolonged dry spells, and rising production costs continue to affect farmers across Uganda. For farmers relying on rain-fed agriculture, this uncertainty directly impacts yields, income, and long-term farm sustainability.
To address this challenge, Sprinktech, in partnership with the Uganda Energy Credit Capitalisation Company (UECCC), is supporting eligible farmers to access solar-powered irrigation systems at subsidised rates.
Through this program, farmers can receive up to UGX 5,000,000 or 60% subsidy on approved solar irrigation kits — significantly reducing the upfront cost of irrigation and enabling year-round farming.
This initiative supports Uganda’s national goals for clean energy adoption, modern irrigation, and climate-resilient agriculture.
The solar irrigation subsidy is a cost-sharing program that helps Ugandan farmers afford solar-powered irrigation systems.
This structure makes irrigation accessible to both smallholder and commercial farmers.
Solar-powered irrigation offers long-term value by:
When combined with efficient irrigation methods such as drip and sprinkler systems, farmers improve water efficiency while increasing yields and profitability.
You may qualify if you:
Both individual farmers and organised farmer groups are encouraged to apply.

For a solar irrigation system costing UGX 8,000,000:
This significantly shortens the return-on-investment period.
