The US$4 billion oil refinery planned for Kabaale in Hoima District, Uganda, is currently awaiting a Final Investment Decision (FID), now targeted for February 2027. Several crucial elements are still unresolved, including securing necessary agreements, completing engineering work, and establishing logistics for transporting heavy machinery to the site. The refinery is projected to have a processing capacity of 60,000 barrels of crude oil daily. These delays threaten the project's timeline and potential economic impact on Hoima District and the nation. Progress hinges on resolving these outstanding issues to ensure the refinery can move forward. The project's future success relies on timely completion of these crucial steps before the February 2027 deadline. This development was reported by The Independent Uganda.
