Introduction to Renewable Energy (RE)

ZARENA – Introduction and Activities

ZARENA – Organisation and Membership


Renewable Energy (RE) refers to energy that is obtained from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale.

Renewable Energy – Different Types

Why is RE important?

Renewable Energy…

• Reduces the pressure on finite energy sources

• Provides a sustainable basis for meeting future energy demand

• Stabilizes energy prices

• Improves access to energy particularly for the poorest

• Combats climate change and increases energy security

• Stabilizes the global climate

• Contributes to healthier living conditions

• Conserves the natural environment

Investment in RE has reached USD244 billion annually as of 2012 and is set to out do expectations if it continues growing at the current rate.

About 16% of global final

energy consumption comes from renewables

Renewable energy resources exist world wide, in contrast to other

energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries.

Renewable energy provides

21.7% of electricity

generation worldwide as of 2013.

At least 30 nations already have more than 20% of their energy provided by

RE


Zambia generates 2,200MW of electricity, by 2016 it is estimated that the country will have a demand of 4,000MW.

RE in Zambia – The Potential

Source: IRENA Renewable energy Country Profile: Zambia (2009), Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development (2014)

• High levels of hydro and solar resources, and medium wind resources give the country a strong RE potential

• Zambia easily has the potential to not only meet its own demand but that of its neighbours as well

• Mini-grids provide electricity for people living in rural and isolated areas

• They can be based around renewable sources such as hydro and solar

• Decentralizing the energy grid will be one of the major reasons for the future economic growth in Zambia

• These grids provide not only a higher living standard for the people but can be the backbone of an emerging industry

• Electrification of transport and promotion of use of biofuels can reduce Zambia’s dependency on oil imports

Description

99% of the country’s electricity comes

from hydropower

Estimated potential for the country’s hydropower

6,000 MW


Current electricity access rate of only 18.8% gives mini-grids - and therefore renewable energy - great strategic importance.

RE in Zambia – What Can It Do?

Renewable Energy in Zambia can…

• Contribute to economic growth and job creation

• Promote an environmentally sound economic development

• Help to overcome poverty

• Help to avoid national tensions and conflicts caused by shortages of energy supply

• Provide a secure energy supply for Zambia

The sector of Renewable Energy in Zambia is facing several challenges making it difficult for stakeholders to enhance its growth.

• There is no central resource or authority for RE related matters in Zambia.

• Organizations and individuals generally struggle:

o To grow their knowledge,

o To network,

o To find and acquire tenders,

o To access, analyse and understand RE policies

o To find support for their projects

o To lobby for RE related matters

o To articulate and disseminate the value of RE to the general public
