Abstract

Power-distribution equipment systems (PDES) are critical for efficient electricity transmission in Uganda's rural areas. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 randomly selected villages, measuring power delivery efficiency before and after the intervention. Significant increases in electricity supply were observed in 85% of tested villages, with an average yield improvement of 23%. The randomized field trial confirmed that PDES interventions can effectively enhance power distribution efficiency. Further research should explore long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the identified methods.
