The commercial and industrial sectors in Zambia show significant potential for increased energy demand for various energy use applications and opportunities for energy eficiency improvements, driven by the need for reliable power supplies, cost savings, access to markets, and alignment with national strategies.
Investors serving Zambia’s mining sector can seize opportunities by adopting energy-eficient and renewable solutions, ensuring reliable energy access, operational eficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. Energy demand in the mining sector is projected to grow from 886 MW in 2020 to 2,052 MW by 2050 according to Zambia’s IRP.
The concentration of opportunities in the commercial and industrial sectors, particularly agro-food processing and mining, underscores the significance of these markets in driving demand for energy eficiency and alternative energy sources in Zambia.
Zambia’s residential and public sectors present an opportunity for SMEs and investors in the energy sector, driven by rapid urbanization, rising living standards, and ambitious government electrification and sustainable development goals.
The demand for energy solutions in Zambia’s transportation sector is on the rise. The transport sector will see an increase from a negligible amount in 2020 to 153 MW by 2050. This demand projection is conservative as it is limited to the development of inter-city and urban electric rail networks and does not include Electric vehicles (EVs).
