ENERGY STATISTICS IN ZAMBIA

Major source of energy in Zambia is wood fuel (i.e. firewood and charcoal), with the largest consumer group being households in both rural and urban areas; Electricity installed capacity is 2,451MW. 96% hydro, 2.1% thermal (HFO and Diesel) and 1.7% renewable comprising of solar and small hydros. "Renewable hydro" = up to 20 MW.

Zambia

There are opportunities in electricity generation and transmission, storage, particularly with regards to renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, and hydro). While Zambia has the potential to generate 2,300 MW of solar and 3,000 MW of wind, only 76 MW of solar has been installed and there is no wind power to date.
