Electricity imports and exports in GWh (first half of 2022) As mentioned in the previous chapter, Zambia has developed into an export powerhouse in recent years. This is also demonstrated by the data from the first half of 2022.
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.
To address the more than 1,300 MW energy deficit, Zambia has secured additional electricity imports from South Africa and Zimbabwe. Additionally, the government is launching a net metering program and planning to install generators at crucial locations like hospitals, schools, business areas, and markets.
Other than copper, which accounts for 70% of the country’s total exports, Zambia exports sugar, tobacco, gemstones, cotton and electricity. Based on data from ZamStats, Zambia’s main export trading partners are Switzerland (45% of total exports), Chi-na, DRC and South Africa.
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.
