In Zambia, the legal and regulatory framework for energy storage, including renewable energy storage, is primarily governed by the Energy Regulation Act No 12 of 2019 and the Electricity Act No 11 of 2019. These Acts establish the ERB as the primary regulator, responsible for licensing and setting standards for energy storage activities.
The legal and regulatory framework for utility-scale renewable power sales in Zambia is governed by the Energy Regulation Act No 12 of 2019 and relevant ERB regulations. Developers must obtain a generation licence from the ERB to produce and sell electricity from renewable sources.
Large utility-scale renewable power projects in Zambia are tendered through competitive bidding processes overseen by the Ministry of Energy and the ERB. The process commences with developers submitting pre-qualification documents to showcase their technical and financial capabilities.
Sources of financing for utility-scale renewable power projects in Zambia include DFIs such as the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), and European Investment Bank (EIB), providing concessional loans, grants, and technical assistance. Commercial banks offer project finance, corporate loans, and credit lines for renewables.
To incentivise investment in microgrids, Zambia offers financial and regulatory incentives, such as tax breaks on renewable energy equipment imports and reduced corporate taxes for renewable energy investments.
Zambia supports net metering, enabling consumers to offset electricity use by exporting surplus energy to the grid, fostering distributed renewable adoption. Wheeling arrangements are allowed, facilitating electricity transmission from renewable producers to consumers at different locations via the national grid.
