Despite the reliance on power generation from coal and importing electricity from South Africa, Botswana’s region has bountiful sources of renewable energy in which to draw from. Recently Botswana has been plagued by the shortage of electricity because of electricity problems in South Africa. The country has now committed to plans to generate electricity from renewable resources such as gas and solar, resources which the country has in plenty.
The country receives over 3,200 hours of sunshine per year. The average insolation on a horizontal surface is 21 millijoules per square meter, this being one of the highest rates of insolation found in the world. Some areas of the region have shown potential for the generation of energy through wind, Botswana’s average wind speed at the height of 100 meter is 5-7 m/s. There is also potential for biomass production as the cattle population exceeds the human population.
Botswana imports between 80-150MW from Eskom (South Africa) but projects are currently in place to lessen the need for importing by sustaining itself with its own power sources. Tapping into renewable energy will assist Botswana in its aim at becoming a net exporter of electricity with mining ventures set to benefit.
While South Africa remains the regional leader in renewable energy investment, Botswana and the other SADC nations can begin to expect large investment in renewable energy programmes by investors small and large. With the Botswana government endeavouring to move from a net importer of electricity to a net exporter of electricity, investors and companies from the private sector have begun to show great interest in helping the government to deliver on its set targets. There is also a prospective agreement with Israel for a 900MW solar energy project.
