A neighbour-reported board of where the power is out in Kampala right now — so you can tell whether it is just you or the whole area, with UEDCL's official channel.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Kampala and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Since UEDCL took over the network in 2025, load-shedding and outages have been a daily complaint. This board is neighbours telling each other where the power is out right now — tap the area you are in to add your report. It tells you whether it is just your place or the whole area. The reports clear themselves after a few hours, so the board stays current.
No power cuts reported right now.

How this works
UEDCL distributes power but can only pass on what the transmission company supplies — when there is a national shortfall it load-sheds by area. It publishes planned maintenance and upgrade schedules; check there for a scheduled outage.
