1. OVERVIEW OF ENERGY SECTOR Main forms of energy consumed include: Wood fuels (70%), electricity (10%), petroleum (9%). Wood fuel normally consumed in the form of firewood and charcoal in the residential sector About 60% of electricity is consumed in the mining industry. Access at national level is 25%. Annual electricity production is about 11TWh and installed capacity is 2,316MW. Current deficit of 700MW. 99% of the country s electricity is generated from hydro. Petroleum mostly consumed in the transport and also for power generation. Consumption is about 3 million liters per day Significant potential for use of renewable energy resources such as solar (5.5kwh/m2/day), mini-hydro power, biomass, geothermal
2. Status of EE, gaps and barriers The Ministry of Energy and Water Development is mandated to oversee policy formulation and facilitate implementation of Energy programs including Energy Efficiency. Energy Efficiency is covered under the Energy Management unit of the DOE. There are only two officers charged with responsibility of EE. Similarly Energy Efficiency policy is covered under the Energy Management Section of the National Energy Policy (2008). Key features of the EE policy include: public awareness, EE in buildings, equipment and appliances, encouraging training/capacity building, transport, standards for equipment and appliance, fiscal and other incentives, EE labelling, encouraging Energy Audits. No specific legislation and strategy for EE implementation. Supporting legislation include; Energy Regulation Act, Electricity Act, Petroleum Act and Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Act
2.1 Current Measures Current EE measures include the following: Government Tax incentives on importation of EE and RE equipment Awareness programs (annual commemoration of energy week) Promotion of improved biomass cook stoves and gas stoves Development and Promotion of use of biofuels Regulatory Tariff increase from 6 to 10 USD cents Surcharge for low power factor for industry Utility CFL distribution program, energy audits and consumer awareness on energy usage. Promotion of Solar Water Heaters for households, SHS and Solar plants Transmission and Distribution system rehabilitation to reduce losses and improve power quality Time of use tariff (load shifting from peak to off-peak) Private Sector/industry Zambia Association of Manufacturers (ZAM) energy management project supported by embassy of Finland in Zambia 6
2.2 Gaps 7 Weak and unclear measures Lack of legislation and strategy to support EE Weak institutional arrangements Limited statistics for EE analysis No standards on EE Inadequate Govt incentives for implementing EE measures Limited capacity for energy auditing and enforcement of mandatory standards Limited access to financial resources Low l
2.3 Barriers 8 Low energy prices High cost of EE technologies (LEDs, measurement, monitoring and plant equipment)
3. Focus sectors, end-uses, technologies and target segments The main sectors being targeted include: Wood fuel: 9 Households Promotion of efficient use and production of charcoal, improved cook stoves, Electricity Buildings (public and private) Efficient lighting, Solar Water Heating, LPG for cooking and heating Appliances & equipment - use of energy efficient equipment (pressure cookers) Industry high efficiency motors, transformers, power correction equipment and production processes Petroleum Transport improved road network, effective maintenance of motor vehicles, use of rail and non motorised systems, e.g. bicycles, walkways
4. Challenges: Capacity, Institutional set-up, Resources 10 Capacity: Lack of trained human resources in EE in Govt and industry Lack of equipment and instruments Institutional Set-up Low profile of EE institutional structure under DOE Current arrangement does not render itself to external technical and financial support Resources Far from adequate budgetary allocation from Govt.
5. Possible assistance required and its nature Policy Technical assistance for policy review and establishment of appropriate legal and institutional framework Development of strategies for EE and long term actions Capacity building Enhance capacity for data and information gathering Training of trainers in Energy auditing and implementing measures Capacity for enforcement of mandatory standards Capacity building in product EE testing and labelling Support in accessing financing for capital intensive EE projects Study and analysis Establish EE baseline/balance Monitoring and evaluation systems Exchange visits to expose relevant personnel to EE technologies Private sector engagement
