The installed generation capacity in Zambia is 3356.6 MW. The installed capacity comprises of 83 percent of hydro, 9 percent of coal, 5 percent of heavy fuel oil and 3 percent solar PV. The mining sector remains the largest consumer of power at 51% of total generated electricity, followed by the domestic sector at 33%.
There are opportunities in electricity generation and transmission, storage, particularly with regards to renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, and hydro). While Zambia has the potential to generate 2,300 MW of solar and 3,000 MW of wind, only 76 MW of solar has been installed and there is no wind power to date.
