6 FAQs about [Botswana power generation side energy storage]

How is electricity generated in Botswana?

Currently, in Botswana electricity is primarily generated from domestic coal resources. Apart from coal-bed methane, there are no proven reserves of other possible fossil fuel resources for energy generation like natural gas or oil. Botswana has large coal reserves, estimated to be in excess of 200 billion tons.

Can waste-to-energy be developed in Botswana?

Under the patronage of the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Green Technology and Energy Security, a feasibility study is ongoing regarding the development of waste-to-energy in Botswana. Current findings indicate gaps related to the absence of Integrated Waste Management Plans and challenges related to revenues and costs.

Does Botswana have hydro power?

There is no hydro power potential in Botswana. The existing power generation system of Botswana is based on fossil fuels and consists of two coal-fired power plants and two diesel generators. The bulk of electricity produced locally comes from the coal-fired plant Morupule B, with the other coal-fired power plant being Morupule A.

What is integrated energy planning in Botswana?

Integrated Energy Planning and developing an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) are an integral part of the energy planning process in Botswana as guided by its 11th National Development Plans (NDP 11) and other sector policies and ambitions. In the energy sector, the NDP 11 focuses on increasing self-reliance on the country’s energy resources.

What is Botswana's energy potential?

For Botswana, the following technical potentials were identified: Wind (high capacity factor) – 1 152 MW. The least-cost analysis estimated a potential of 199 MW from renewable energy, 139 MW of which in utility-scale projects and 60 MW of-grid. The firm reserve margin would reach 23% in 2030, with zero net imports.

Where does Botswana get its power?

To meet its peak power demand, Botswana imports power from the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP) – mainly from South Africa – and when imports are not available, resorts to the use of costly backup diesel power plants.
