Why is solar power important for Zambia?
Solar power is important for Zambia because it provides a reliable alternative energy source to hydropower, which has become less dependable due to droughts. Additionally, the increasing electricity demand makes the growth of solar power of great value and significance beyond just the energy sector.
What is the solar sector in Zambia?
The Zambian solar sector consists of several segments, with most installations using solar photovoltaics (PV) to generate power. These systems are mainly used for electronic devices, lighting in businesses, houses, and communities, as well as solar water pumping, heating, and cleaning.
Will gei power be Zambia's first solar plant with battery storage?
Turkey’s YEO is partnering with Zambian sustainable energy company GEI Power to develop a 60 MW/20 MWh solar plant with battery storage in Choma district, southern Zambia. The facility has been touted as Zambia’s first solar plant with battery storage.
What is the energy sector in Zambia?
The energy sector in Zambia, specifically the petroleum industry, is one of the key sectors of the economy. Petroleum is the only energy source that is 100 per cent imported in Zambia. In agreement with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, the petroleum sector has been identified as a special sector which requires analysis.
Why is energy access so important in Zambia?
Economic growth is synonymous with energy access. Zambia also has long and intense hours of annual sunlight to support solar energy generation. Demand for energy has been rising due to economic activity in the country particularly in the mining, manufacturing and agriculture sectors.
What makes maintenance of solar products difficult in Zambia?
Since many areas in Zambia are rural and the population densities are low, maintenance in these areas can also be a problem. Furthermore, there are inadequate standards for the off-grid sector, which can, among others, lead to the circulation of sub-standard products. Zambia has a high potential for solar power and the sector is growing.
