However, Botswana has ample renewable energy potential to augment generation from coal. Currently, solar energy contributes insignificantly to electricity generation despite the abundance of the resource. There is also wind and coal bed methane potential which have not been fully explored.
Previously, some energy efficiency measures have been employed in Botswana to reduce the amount of end-use electricity consumption. A step-tariff Model was introduced by Botswana Power Corporation in 2010 to encourage efficient use of electricity. Again, efforts to reduce electricity demand were initiated at household level.
Coal is the main source of electricity generation in the country, followed by diesel. However, Botswana has ample renewable energy potential to augment generation from coal. Currently, solar energy contributes insignificantly to electricity generation despite the abundance of the resource.
