| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the determinants of electricity supply in Uganda particularly, Technology, cost of production, price of electricity and rainfall. The objective was to examine their effect on electricity supply. The study employed the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with structural break in time series data using the Gregory Hansen cointegration test. Data used was from the first quarter of 2009 to the fourth quarter of 2019. Findings indicated that there was a structural break in 2016:Q1.Further, findings reveal that Technology, cost of production, price of electricity and rainfall have a positive effect on electricity supply in Uganda both in the long run and short run. The study results will guide policy makers such as the government in designing policies on electricity supply. Also, the study findings will be used by scholars and academicians as a source of reference for further research on electricity supply in Uganda as no scholar has studied these factors in a similarin Uganda . Similarly findings from this study will help stakeholders to appreciate the effect of price of electricity, cost of production, technology and rainfall on ensuring sustainability of electricity supply in Uganda. | |
