In 2019, Zambia generated a total of 15,013GWh of Energy. 12,427GWh was Renewable and 2,586 GWh was non-renewable. Over 99% of the Renewable energy component was Hydro electricity. With a view to diversifying the power generation profile, Zambia increased its Solar Power generation Capacity in 2019.
It is estimated that electricity demand in the country is growing at about 3 percent annually. There are three power producing and distribution companies in Zambia; (a) Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (ZESCO), a government-owned company (b) Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Limited and (c) Ndola Energy.
In the generation sub-sector, independent and private power producers include Lunsemfwa, Maamba and Ndola Energy, whose entire capacity is offtaken by ZESCO, as well as those operating mini-hydro generating stations, such as Zengamina in North-Western Province, whose off-grid power systems cater to more localised needs.
Economic growth is synonymous with energy access. Zambia also has long and intense hours of annual sunlight to support solar energy generation. Demand for energy has been rising due to economic activity in the country particularly in the mining, manufacturing and agriculture sectors.
Flywheels store the energy created by turning an internal rotor at high speeds-slowing the rotor releases the energy back to the grid when needed. Beacon Power is redesigning the heart of the flywheel, eliminating the cumbersome hub and shaft typically found at its center. When excess electricity is available, it is used to accelerate a flywheel to a very high speed. The energy is stored as kinetic energy and can be retrieved by slowing down the flywheel. . Flywheel energy storage is a mechanical energy storage technology that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to enhance the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems.
