Accelerating Sustainable and Productive Investment in Renewable Energy & Efficiency

About this project

Botswana¿s Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) is largely based on fossil fuels (oil products and coal), complemented by waste to energy and biomass (the last one used in a traditional way, mainly for cooking). Electricity production relies on two major coal-fired power plants, a number of diesel generation units and cross-border imports from South Africa via the Southern African Power Pool. All this is so despite a considerable potential for renewable energy, most notably solar energy, wind energy and modern bioenergy.  Unfortunately, this potential remains largely unexploited.
