This National Energy Policy (NEP) is intended to guide the management and development of Botswana''s energy sector, especially the penetration of new and renewable energy sources
This Policy is calling for an increase in private sector development and the IEP will suggest various available options for financing of infrastructure projects and programs in the energy sector of Botswana. The Policy seeks to provide a conducive legal, fiscal and regulatory environment to attract investment into the energy sector.
In order to facilitate an effective development of the energy sector, the government of Botswana is obligated to build the necessary levels of human resource capacity across the board. Various actor groups have varying capacity needs hence capacity building programs should be tailored according to these various needs.
The adopted modes of transporting petroleum products are rail and road which are not economic for the country. The industry is dominated by multinational oil companies and the prices for petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin are controlled by the Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA).
Botswana has experienced some constraints in the energy sector in recent years, which to some extent have negatively impacted on the country’s economic development prospects. A devastating power supply and demand mismatch was encountered between the years 2008 and 2014, and this breached the country’s power supply security.
“The World Bank is pleased to support Botswana’s commitment to expand domestic energy generation with renewable solutions. In addition to financing, the World Bank will provide technical assistance to facilitate further renewable energy projects.
This policy acknowledges that data management is a challenge in Botswana and there is insufficient energy data to inform accurate planning in the sector. Therefore, the NEP seeks to ensure that energy data is accurate, available and accessible for planning purposes. POLICY STATEMENT – P18
