6 FAQs about [Production and storage of energy Botswana]
How is energy used in Botswana?
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
What is the main source of electricity in Botswana?
Coal is the main source of electricity generation in the country, followed by diesel. However, Botswana has ample renewable energy potential to augment generation from coal. Currently, solar energy contributes insignificantly to electricity generation despite the abundance of the resource.
How has the energy sector impacted Botswana's Economic Development Prospects?
Botswana has experienced some constraints in the energy sector in recent years, which to some extent have negatively impacted on the country’s economic development prospects. A devastating power supply and demand mismatch was encountered between the years 2008 and 2014, and this breached the country’s power supply security.
What is Botswana's energy policy?
Botswana’s energy policy is anchored on three key aspects – increasing access to electricity through the Rural Electrification Project, security, and stabilization of the power supply, and onboarding Independent Power Producers, especially within the Solar PV sector (BPC 2020).
What is the storage capacity of strategic reserves in Botswana?
Botswana’s strategic reserves storage is also not yet up to international standard; storage capacity is approximately 18 days compared to the international standard strategic storage capacity of 90 days. Commercial buffer stock stands at less than five days of national consumption compared to the international standard of 14 days cover.
Who regulates the energy sector in Botswana?
Regulation matters are handled by the Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA). Other actors involved in the sector include private sector, academia and research institutes, non-governmental organisations and communities.
