We've all heard of the amazing power and length of The River Nile, right? Well in today's video, our brother Martin discusses with us the detrimental effects The Nile has on electricity prices in Uganda, and the surrounding region.

Below we have some snapshots of The River Nile. The Nile is usually credited as being the Longest River on the planet. Although some scientist disagree and argue that the title belongs to the Amazon River, The Nile is the generally accepted victor.

If it’s like Texas or other third world countries, they probably split the ownership rights of the production and distribution/ retail. That way Uganda government can give a section of power lines to a cousin of the President. Give a power plant to a sister’s best friends room mate.

When you go from electricity production to delivery at particular house you’ve got at least two transactions. In a perfect world… but then you introduce the secondary market and the hedge funds, who love volatility. They’ll buy sell futures energy contracts between production and distribution and bid the price up and down around the rise and fall of the Nile.

And if you want to get really shady, you can go the Enron route and cut power production to pop up the price and give a kickback to regulators.

All speculation of course.

I think there is some truth to this based on what I've heard from @Martin
