Lira stands 1,104 m up — 3th lowest of 10 of the 10 Uganda cities we cover, on plateau ground. Thinner air means less oxygen per stroke, so 1,104 m costs 8% of rated output.
Practically: 100 kVA on the plate is about 88 kVA in Lira. Size from the plate and the set runs at its limit from day one, glazing bores and wet-stacking. At 1,104 m a turbocharged engine recovers most of that 8% and is usually worth the difference.
19 °C to 29.8 °C. A 10.8 °C cycle is enough to loosen connections within a year or two in Lira. The intermittent faults that follow get misread as controller trouble; they are almost always a terminal needing re-torquing.
Lira is roughly 598 km north-west of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. 598 km is comfortable overland reach: parts move by road and an engineer reaches Lira without an unreasonable mobilisation charge. Spares held in Nairobi genuinely serve this site.
Elevation: Open-Meteo Geocoding API (GeoNames elevation), retrieved 2026-08-26. Temperature: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2025 daily maxima and minima. Derate figures are planning estimates using standard corrections (approximately 1% per 100 m above 300 m; 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); final sizing follows the engine manufacturer’s own derate tables for the set proposed.
We supply and install heavy-duty generators for factories, hospitals, and data centers in Lira.
