  3. Map of Southern Africa

  4. About Zambia Draws its name from Zambezi River Land area :752,614 Sqm Population:10.3 million Urban Population:40% Local currency : Zambian Kwacha GNP Per Capita:$320 The major export – copper Others include: cobalt, cotton and non traditional exports such as main import commodities include capital goods, chemical products, crude oil, fertilisers, petroleum products and raw materials Well endowed with natural resources such as land, water, wildlife, and energy resources. For example 40% of fresh water in SADC region is in Zambia However total poverty levels stand at 64% (80% in rural areas as at 2006

  5. Energy Profile • The principal 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. • It accounts for over 70% of total national energy use • Despite abundant hydro-power generation potential, only 27% of the population has access to electricity. • For the rural areas only 3% of the population has access to electricity. • It accounts for 13% supply to national energy supply. • This is mainly due to high installation costs and the remote location of most areas from the national grid system.

  6. Energy Profile cont… • Petroleum ranks second in terms of national energy requirements (12%). The largest consumer is the transport sector, followed by mining. • Coal accounts for 5% of national energy requirements: the largest consumer is the mining industry, followed by the manufacturing sector • The huge potential for renewable energy sources such as solar, biomass, geothermal among others remains largely untapped.

  7. Energy Profile cont… • However a supportive policy and institutional framework has been put in place to facilitate the development of the energy sector

  9. Renewable Energy

  10. Identified Challenges in Zambia High Initial costs against high poverty levels and seasonal income Low levels of knowledge about RETS at different levels i.e. prospective financiers and end users Lack of end user acceptability Inadequate research on RETS to the Zambian Situation Lack of specialized training

  11. Renewable Energy Policy Framework In Zambia Comes as part of National Energy Policy Ensure availability of data and information on market demand, resource assessment and applicability of RETS Strengthen Institutional Framework for R&D. Provide appropriate financial and fiscal instruments for stimulating the implementation of RETS Public awareness and capacity development Promote ehancement, development and deployment of RETS Promote renewable energy technologies for electricity generation

  12. Pre requisites Macro economic policy that encourages private sector participation. Information dissemination on the value of renewable energy in energy management, mitigating climate change and as an alternative energy supply especially where energy deficits exist. Regulations that encourage and reward the use of renewable energy such as using solar water heaters instead of electric geysers Attractive pricing mechanisms and feed in tariff policies

  13. Financing Options for RETS in Rural Areas At international level the CDM avenue and similar initiatives can be used when presented as climate change projects. At national level: Ensuring that an equitable level of national resources is invested in renewable energy technologies Using RETS to provide energy to government public institutions Using the empowerment funds such as the Citizen’s Economic Empowerment fund in Zambia to support RETS entrepreneurs. .

  14. Financing Options for RETS in Rural Areas Tax holidays and exemptions for entrepreneurs who invest in RETS in rural areas Public -Private Partnerships ESCO model Zambia Energy Kiosks run by co- operatives Mini- grids run by co-operatives

  15. Financing Options for RETS in Rural Areas Offer of guarantees to banks willing to lend to income generating RETS projects Provision of fiscal incentives and waivers on renewable energy equipment. Encouraging hire purchase and lay-bye schemes for purchase of RETS

  16. Conclusion The main to consider for government are: Pricing mechanism e.g. feed in tariff policy Sensitization of prospective financiers so that they are willing to lend RETs businesses Offering well targeted subsidies Presenting RETS projects as climate change, energy management and alternative energy sources also offers financing opportunities such as CDM Encouraging private sector participation and private – public partnerships.
