St. Joseph VTC Kamuli will now benefit from green energy after installation of a new solar system with a capacity of 8.6kw.
This is aimed at promotion of green energy with the objective of ensuring environmental conservation and cutting down on power bills by the centre.
The installation began on 30TH November to 5TH December 2020 led by a team of trainers from St. Joseph VTC Kamuli, Don Bosco VTC Palabek and Don Bosco VTC Bombo.
The installation team was joined by students from the solar department.
A similar system was already installed at Don Bosco VTC Bombo and Don Bosco VTC Palabek.
