Information:WENRECo was formed in 2003 by the Industrial Promotion Services (IPS), a programme of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED). The World Bank-funded Energy for Rural Transformation (ERT) programme identified the region as a special concession area, with the primary objective of providing sustainable power in Arua and Nebbi districts. This resulted in the West Nile Electrification project being tendered out to a private-sector player in 2002.
