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.
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.
The Electricity Act regulates the generation, trans-mission, distribution and supply of electricity to enhance the security and reliability of electricity sup-ply in Zambia. It codifies the rules on tariff setting and introduces the concept of intermediary power trading, a concept that was missing from the previous regulatory framework.
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).
The government anticipates that peak demand will be at 8,000 MW by 2030 and 10,000 MW by 2040 (from around 3,000 MW in 2022). It also projects that the demand will be largely driven by mining and agricultural consumers and not residential consumers as projected in the COSS (Government of Zambia, 2022). 4.
