Technical Assistance to the ASPIRE programme

About this project

<p>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.</p>
