2.0 current status
3.0 zesco’s plans to end load-shedding
3.1 generation projects
3.2 transmission projects
3.3 distribution projects
3.4 other initiatives to reduce load-shedding
4.0 conclusion

3. background
ELECTRICITY IS A KEY DRIVER OF ECONOMIC GROWTH & MAJOR INPUT IN ALL ECONOMIC SECTORS - AGRICULTURE, MINING, MANUFACTURING AND TOURISM
ZESCO’S ELECTRICITY GENERATING CAPACITY STANDS AT 2.2 GW (99% HYDRO)
NET EXPORTS ROUGHLY 5% OF TOTAL GENERATION (MOSTLY TO NAMIBIA, BOTSWANA AND CONGO D.R.)
CURRENT PEAK DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY BARELY MEETS GENERATION CAPACITY ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK TIMES

4. background CONT’D
ZAMBIA HAS EXPERIENCED A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS DESPITE GLOBAL RECESSION, RESULTING IN:
INCREASED DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY FROM ALL SECTORS
DEMAND OUTSTRIPPING AVAILABLE CAPACITY DURING PEAK HOURS
ZESCO MUST INVEST IN NEW INFRASTRUCTURE TO COPE WITH GROWING DEMAND

5. BACKGROUND CONT’D
HOWEVER DELAYED INVESTMENT IN GENERATION PLANTS HAS NOT MATCHED THE LOAD GROWTH
RESULTING IN DEFICIT IN POWER GENERATION CAPACITY
FURTHER, DELAYED INVESTMENTS IN TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS HAS ALSO LED TO DEPLETING POWER TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION CAPACITY
ABOVE FACTORS LARGELY CONTRIBUTE TO LOAD-SHEDDING
LOAD-SHEDDING IS DONE TO SAFEGUARD THE ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE

7. GENERATION STATUS CONT’D
THE TOTAL AVAILABLE CAPACITY IS 2,211 AGAINST A MAXIMUM NATIONAL DEMAND OF 1890.
ZESCO HAS ADEQUATE CAPACITY TO MEET THE DEMAND AT PRESENT. LOAD-SHEDDING IS THEREFORE DUE TO BOTTLENECKS IN THE TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE.

FROM THE GRAPH IT CAN BE SEEN THAT UNLESS THE PLANNED GENERATION PROJECTS COME ON STREAM, THERE WILL BE A GENERATION DEFICIT IN THE COMING YEARS.

11. SHORT TERM MEASURES TAKEN TO REDUCE LOAD-SHEDDING
GENERATION
rehabilitation and uprating of the three major hydropower stations, i.e. Kafue Gorge, KNBPS and Victoria Falls
VICTORIA FALLS POWER STATION – USD53.7MILLION
KAFUE GORGE POWER STATION - USD 85.5 MILLION
KARIBA NORTH BANK POWER STATION – USD81.4MILLION
Through the uprating of kariba and kafue gorge 210mw was gained
TOTAL COST OF the UPGRADE– USD 100 MILLION
ESTIMATED COST FOR A 210MW new hydro POWER STATION
– above us$600MILLION

12. GENERATION PROJECTS POWER REHABILITATION PROJECT (PRP)
Scope included rehabilitation and uprating of the three major hydropower stations, i.e. Kafue Gorge, KNBPS and Victoria Falls
Other works included reinforcement and rehabilitation of some transmission and distribution infrastructure
The major achievements of the PRP has been the uprating of the Kafue Gorge Power Station from 900 to 990 MW, the reinstating of the Victoria Falls Power Station to its full generating capacity of 108 MW as well as the up-rating of Kariba North Bank power station from 600 MW to 720 MW. The total generation capacity yielded from the PRP is 210 MW

51. POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH independent power producers
to ensure load shedding is minimized zesco has contracted power from Ipps at higher cost compared to the prevailing tariffs on the market.
Avearge tariff UsC/KwH -6.02
Annual loss of 367 million USD

52. REASONS FOR LIMITED INVESTMENTS IN THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR
THE ELECTRICITY ENERGY SECTOR IN ZAMBIA HAS SUFFEREED LITTLE OR NO INVESTMENT DESPITE GOVERNMENTS INITIATIVE TO HAVE THE INDUSTRY DEREGULATED DUE TO LARGELY:
NON COST REFLECTIVE TARIFF
LACK OF WILLINGNESS FROM CUSTOMERS TO PAY COST REFLECTIVE TARIFFS
ZAMBIA HAS THE LOWEST TARIFFS IN THE REGION.

53. POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH independent power producers
DUE TO THE UNATTRACTIVE TARIFFS, the ZAMBIAN ELECTRICITY SECTOR IS LARGELY DOMINATED BY ZESCO –SINGLE BUYER MODEL.

54. SOLAR ENERGY OPTION
Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime and sunny.
Less efficient and costly equipment (Efficiency for most panels between 17-20%)
Reliability Depends On Location, climate, pollution e.t.c
Environmental Impact of PV Cell Production
Requires large tracts of land for solar panels and batteries
No feed-in tariff in place –must be developed by Memwd and ERB

55. SOLAR ENERGY OPTION Cost of solar energy very high
Example to PROCURE AND install a 25kwp it costed ZESCO ABOUT
usd 300,000

56. Other initiatives to reduce load-shedding
Power plants will take time to come on board
Therefore ZESCO Management stepped up DSM activities to accelerate energy efficiency initiatives
Energy saver lamp (CFLs) distribution
Power Alert System
Energy Audit and Power Factor Correction
Solar Power Technology
Time of Use Tariff (TOU)
Ripple control of electric geysers
Prepayment metering

57. Demand Side Management (DSM)
DSM is a utility program aiming to fine tune consumers energy consumption pattern according to utilities energy production and distribution capacity
To reduce load-shedding
To release system capacity
Make available additional power for new connections
Reduced energy bills for customers
Promote energy efficiency and save the environment

59. CFL DISTRIBUTION

60. CFL DISTRIBUTION
An 87mw new power plant will cost not less than us$300million while zesco spent u$4.0million on the procurement and distribution of the cfls

61. POWER ALERT SYSTEM
The Power Alert System is essentially a communication tool that utilizes the television and radio media as the channel to inform electricity consumers on the energy situation in the Power network thereby prompting Customer response.
The system therefore triggers voluntary participation of consumers in electricity demand reduction by switching off unnecessary loads in response to the broadcast power alert message.

62. POWER ALERT SYSTEM

63. SOLAR POWER
305 out of 1,000 Solar Geysers installed mostly in Government Institutions and transit Homes (with 566KW power savings).
Remaining solar geysers to be installed in ZESCO Institutional Houses mostly at power stations & Service Camps
ZESCO HQ office lighting and Parliament Emergency supply already on Solar Power
At ZESCO HQ 1,850 LEDs retrofitted in fluorescent fittings

64. RIPPLE CONTROL SYSTEM Means of load shaving (instead of load shedding)
Mainly targeted at electric geyser loads
Initially targeted at 100,000 Residential Customers in Lusaka
Projected load of about 135MW to be saved
Can be implemented even under system emergencies
Technical specifications drawn. Financing arrangements underway

65. Zesco projects

66. conclusion
Zesco limited has embarked on various projects from the production side through to distribution to reduce and ultimately stop load-shedding.
Government being the major shareholder has given support through provision of equity and guarantees for debts being contracted to finance the projects.
Load-shedding in Zambia, the plan is therefore to ensure cost reflective tariffs in order to attract invest in the generation, transmission and distribution electricity infrastructure.

67. THANK YOU!!
