Abstract
emissions abatement strategies for GKMA towards 2050. Using TIMES-VEDA to address the knowledge gap, the study develops and examines a sustainable energy portfolio for GKMA. TIMES-VEDA is an engineering model generator with a bottom-up approach, paying in-depth attention to low-carbon themes while optimizing energy management systems. The analysis shows that sustainability is plausible by optimizing the total primary energy supply, electrical power production from PV-solar & hydropower technologies, and switching 90% of passengers of the road category to the Kampala metro.
