6 FAQs about [Zambia downgrades PV module exports]
What is PV production & how does it work in Zambia?
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).
What does Zambia export?
Other than copper, which accounts for 70% of the country’s total exports, Zambia exports sugar, tobacco, gemstones, cotton and electricity. Based on data from ZamStats, Zambia’s main export trading partners are Switzerland (45% of total exports), Chi-na, DRC and South Africa.
Is Zambia a regional energy supplier?
Electricity exports, meanwhile, have exhibited a less consistent pattern being roughly steady up to 2020 but have surged sharply in recent years. From 2020 onwards, electricity exports have grown by an average annual rate of 40%, signalling Zambia’s increasing role as a regional energy supplier.
Does Zambia export electricity?
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.
Does Zambia have a good solar system?
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.
Is Zambia a copper producer?
Zambia is the second largest producer of copper in Africa and its economy is heavily dependent on copper mining (at least 70% of total exports). Efforts to diversify economic activ-ity or invest revenues from mining to other sectors of the economy have been limited.
