6. Energy Resource

7. Zambia’s Energy Potential
The country is endowed with hydro, solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy resources.
Zambia’s hydropower resource potential is estimated at over 6,000MW.
Biomass – agriculture waste, forestry waste, industrial/municipal organic waste, energy crops and products and animal waste.

8. Energy Resource Potential Cont’d…
Solar – Potential energy out put per unit area (radiation) average 5.5kWh/m²/day (MEWD,2008) which is significant for solar thermal & photovoltaic exploitation
Geothermal – More than 80 hot springs occurrences associated with deep seated faults and fracture system in Zambia. 35 were rated high in terms of surface water temperature, flow rate.

11. Policy Environment Cont’d…
REFIT strategy
Government with the help of SATH and USAID has developed a Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff strategy (REFiT) to promote investments in Renewable Energy development.
REFIT strategy aims at implementing at least 200 MW from renewable energy in the next 3 years
Get FIT Programme
Based on REFIT Strategy, Government with the assistance of KFW (Germany Development Bank) is working on the development of the Global Energy Transfer Feed-in Tariff (GET FiT) mechanism, to leverage tariffs for projects to be developed under the REFiT strategy

12. Revision of Electricity and Energy Regulation Acts
Policy Initiatives
GRZ working on the UN Sustainable Energy for All Initiative to support three interlinked objectives of;
providing universal access to modern energy services,
Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency,
Doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
SE4ALL Initiative
GRZ with support from World Bank is developing a resource map indicating the country’s solar and wind resource potential to guide investments on suitable locations
Renewable Energy Resource Map
Revision of Electricity and Energy Regulation Acts
Government has initiated a process on the electricity sector reforms to:
to identify the evolution of the Electricity Sector in Zambia over the short-, medium- and long-term, and;
give context and direction to the policies envisaged towards a viable sector
Sector Reforms
Programme aims to help low income countries use new economic opportunities to increase energy access through renewable energy use
Total amount of up to $40 million made available for Zambia to assist private sector power project financing, of which $18 million is a grant and $22 million is a concessional loan
Currently the government is in the process of preparing an investment plan for the programme
Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program for Low Income Countries (SREP)
Reviews of Electricity and Energy Regulation Acts are on-going to take account of emerging issues in the energy sector

22. Zambia’s Renewable Energy

23. Solar Projects
There are two methods which the government has prescribed as a means of procuring Solar energy technologies for grid integration which are the Scaling Solar initiative and the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff (REFiT) Strategy.
1.1 Scaling Solar initiative
Scaling Solar is an initiative being driven by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) to procure utility scale solar power plants with the support of the International Finance Corporation (IFC – WB)
600 MW of utility scale solar PV power plants planned under this process
Round 1 targeted procurement of 2 X 50 MW of utility scale PV plants.
The tender for development of two projects was awarded to REIPPs namely
Bangweulu Power Company Limited (NEOEN of France & First Solar Inc. of USA)
Ngonye Power Company Limited (Enel Green Power of Italy)
The winning bids were for US¢ 6.02 kWh and US¢ 7.84 kWh respectively.
NEAP poorly implemented. Before then decision making within PPPs viewed environment as obstacle to development

24. Solar Projects Cont’d…
The Energy Regulation Board has so far granted regulatory approvals to the project developers for
a) Environmental impact assessment in collaboration with ZEMA
b) Standardized Power Purchase Agreements
c) Investment Endorsements
1.2 Scaling Solar initiative Round 2
Procuring of up to 250 MW grid-connected utility scale solar projects under Round 2 recorded 21 bids during a tender for pre-qualification.
An evaluation process resulted in 12 Bidders being Pre-Qualified as responsive IPPs to be considered as possible Developers of the Utility- Scale PV Solar plant projects in Zambia
NEAP poorly implemented. Before then decision making within PPPs viewed environment as obstacle to development

26. Second Method for Solar Procurement
2.1 REFiT Strategy
The Zambian REFiT Strategy is designed to provide price certainty to renewable energy generators. The Strategy covers a number of technologies including; hydro, solar, biomass, waste to energy, geothermal, wind and biogas. This Strategy was just recently approved.
Project sizes under the REFiT Strategy are capped between 500 kW minimum to 20 MW maximum.
the following broad objectives are provided for under the first three (3) year period:
a) To provide for a REFiT generation allocation of initially 200 MW divided into 100 MW hydropower and 100 MW non-hydropower;
b) Each project under (a) should have a maximum generation capacity of 20 MW
c) To provide for a REFiT micro-generation allocation of initially 10 MW; and
d) To provide a platform for the second REFiT phase.
NEAP poorly implemented. Before then decision making within PPPs viewed environment as obstacle to development

27. Second Method for Solar Procurement Cont’d…
In order to facilitate for grid interconnected Renewable Energy generation projects under the REFiT, the ERB has since developed the following regulatory tools:
a) Guidelines: Support Mechanisms and Regulations;
b) REFiT Rules;
c) Standard Power Purchase Agreements; for REFiT projects;
d) Generation License;
e) Grid connection Guidelines; and
f) Model Grid Connection Agreement.
2.2 GET FiT Programme
The GET FiT which is dependent on Government signing the REFiT Strategy will operationalise the implementation of the REFiT. This will be done by providing a subsidy to the developers that will win the tenders through an auction.
NEAP poorly implemented. Before then decision making within PPPs viewed environment as obstacle to development

28. Current Status
The GET FiT programme is currently on the Standardised document development stage.
Draft Standardised documents done (PPA, IA, CA, Standard Guarantee etc.)
Submitted to relevant stakeholders for comment and review
Ministry of Energy to submit final draft to Attorney General
First Solar Tender planned to end of 2017
The First Phase to tender up to 50MW with an option to increase
The Programme will offer an upfront payment of 50% on the tariff top-up to the successful bidders
Reverse Auction Tender process will be used and REFiT tariffs set as Caps.
First project expected to be online by end of 2019 or early 2020.
Second phase earmarked shortly after the first phase has been concluded
NEAP poorly implemented. Before then decision making within PPPs viewed environment as obstacle to development

29. Conclusion
Zambia’s aim is to become a hub for both power Generation and Transmission. Through,, the various projects outlined in this presentation, we hope and believe that it can be achieved in next 7 to 10 years
