The Zambian government has set a target to increase its installed solar and wind capacity to 600 MW by 2030. However, the current installed capacity for solar photovoltaics is only 90 MWp, indicating significant underutilisation of Zambia's potential in the renewable energy sector.
For German and European service providers active in the energy sector, Zambia presents significant potential for business development. There are clear needs across the solar energy and storage value chain, including pro-ject development and financing, equipment manufacturing, system inte-gration and contracting.
Zambia benefits from excellent solar resources, with a specific production output between 1,600 and 1,800 kWh/kWp per year. The regions with the best re-sources are the south-west part of the country as well as the region around Lake Bangweulu, east of Mansa.
In that case, the PV production is used to reduce the electricity bill and/ or the diesel fuel bill. As of 2022, the cost of diesel in Zambia was around USD 1.5/litre (Global Petrol Prices, sd) and the efficiency of a generator varies between 25% and 35% if operated at at least 30% of its capacity (Skyllas-Ka-zacos, 2012).
Private companies also trade in electricity in Zambia. The largest of these, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (CEC), buys electricity primarily from ZESCO and sells it to the various mines in the Copperbelt Province. It also operates its own generators, most of which run on fossil fuels.
