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
Only 43 percent of Zambians have access to the national power grid (67 percent of urban residents; and 14.5 percent of rural residents). ZESCO, a vertically integrated parastatal utility, operates government-owned power stations, and is responsible for maintaining and installing transmission lines and distribution networks.
Table 1: Installed and Available Generation Capacity (MW) Zambia’s electricity market is structured as a single-buyer market model with ZESCO acting as the unique off-taker and bulk retailer of electricity on the national interconnected system.
Zambia has 2,800 MW of installed electricity generation capacity, of which 83 percent is from hydro, nine percent from coal, five percent from heavy fuel oil, and three percent from solar. The mining sector is the country’s largest power consumer, using 51 percent of total generated electricity, followed by the domestic sector at 33 percent.
Zambia’s installed solar capacity is 89 MW. Zambia has two utility scale solar power plants: French company, Neoen, and U.S. company, First Solar, own and operate the 47.5 MW Bangweulu Solar Power Station in Lusaka, of which the Zambian government holds a 20 percent stake through its Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).
Zambia’s main hydroelectric power facilities are the Kariba North Bank Power Station (1,080 MW), Kafue Gorge Power Station (980MW), Kafue Gorge Lower Power Station (750 MW), Victoria Falls Power Station (108 MW), Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Station (56 MW), and the Itezhi Tezhi Hydro Power Station (120 MW).
