According to reports, Orange Uganda and Warid Telecom are also outsourcing assets and asset management to the UK in a bid to improve efficiency and operating costs in light of dropping prices in the country.

The Korean company invested an undisclosed amount in the £4.5bn Don Valley Power Project, marking Samsung’s second major investment in the UK green economy this year following a £100m wind turbine plant in Fife.
