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.
One of the particularities of Zambia, as mentioned earlier, is that the country does not have direct access to the sea. The best port for the shipment of a container of goods or products from Germany or any part of Europe to Zambia is through the port of Walvis Bay, Namibia, because of its shorter distance to Europe.
Some of the ports that are used for shipping goods destined for Zambia are Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth (South Africa) and Beira and Nacala (Mozambique). However, the most commonly used ports are Durban (South Africa), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Walvis Bay (Namibia).
Electricity imports and exports in GWh (first half of 2022) As mentioned in the previous chapter, Zambia has developed into an export powerhouse in recent years. This is also demonstrated by the data from the first half of 2022.
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).
