ZAMBIA’S ENERGY SECTOR OVERVIEW Zambia’s energy resources include electricity (hydropower), petroleum, coal, biomass and renewable energy. It is only petroleum which is wholly imported in the country. The Energy Sector in Zambia consists of three main sub-sectors namely: Electricity, Renewable Energy and Petroleum. ELECTRICITY SUB-SECTOR
Beyond the limitations of its current energy landscape lies a wealth of opportunity. Zambia is blessed with an abundance of natural resources that can be harnessed to create a more sustainable and secure energy future. Sunshine bathes the land for an average of 2,000 to 3,000 hours annually, presenting a perfect scenario for solar power generation.
To address this, Zambia will need to invest in energy storage solutions, such as batteries, to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of power. Despite these challenges, Zambia is actively taking steps to pave the way for a future powered by renewables.
The Zambian regulation foresees customs duty and VAT exemptions for most equipment used in renewable energy or battery storage projects. Detailed information is provided in In this section, we discuss the opportunity of battery storage in combination with solar photovoltaics from a financial point of view.
Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Zambia: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?
Enhanced Energy Security: By diversifying its energy mix and reducing dependence on a single source like hydropower, Zambia can mitigate the risks associated with climate variability. Droughts and fluctuating water levels will have a less significant impact on overall electricity generation.
This decrease in water storage capacity directly impacted the dams'' ability to generate electricity, exposing the limitations of a hydropower-centric energy mix. The threat of …
