Overview

In April 2015, Xsabo Power Limited applied for a license to generate 20 megawatts of solar power from the proposed Kabulasoke Solar Power Station, located in Namulasa Village, Butiti Parish, Kabulasoke Sub-County, Gomba District.[7] Had the license been granted in time, the power station was expected to come online in December 2015.[8][9]

The 135 kilometres (84 mi) Mpigi–Kabulasoke–Maddu–Sembabule Road passes through town.[10] The town is also the location of Kabulasoke CORE Primary Teachers' College.[11]

gollark: As far as I know much of that was like a modern general-purpose GPU, but without some of the stuff that made those very good, like their buckets of memory bandwidth.
gollark: It isn't just formatting. For stupid historical reasons, there are two units, GiB (gibibytes, 2^30 bytes) and GB (gigabytes, 10^9 bytes) which software and people will happily mix up all the time.
gollark: Also poor controls relative to using computers with keyboards and such.
gollark: Also having to pay by subscription for access to games.
