4.0 CONCLUSION
2
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
•
3
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
4
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

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.

 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

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

POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH

 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
51
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.
52
POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH
INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS
DUE TO THE UNATTRACTIVE TARIFFS, THE ZAMBIAN ELECTRICITY SECTOR
IS LARGELY DOMINATED BY ZESCO –SINGLE BUYER MODEL.
53
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
54
SOLAR ENERGY OPTION
• COST OF SOLAR ENERGY VERY HIGH
• EXAMPLE TO PROCURE AND INSTALL A 25KWP IT COSTED ZESCO
ABOUT
USD 300,000
55
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

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CFLS
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.

POWER ALERT SYSTEM
62
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

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

CONCLUSION
• ZESCO LIMITED HAS EMBARKED ON VARIOUS PROJECTS FROM
THE PRODUCTION SIDE THROUGH TO DISTRIBUTION TO REDUCE
AND ULTIMATELY STOP LOAD-SHEDDING.
