Zambia’s electricity power supply deficit is higher than the reported 1, 900 megawatt deficit

A coal mining company in Zambia has observed that the country’s electricity power supply deficit is higher than the reported 1, 900 megawatt deficit.

Maamba Collieries Limited Power Plant Project Manager Gadde Ramesh said this is because of the growing demand for the commodity.

The demand has been necessitated by the increasing pace of economic development in the country.

Mr. Ramesh said Zambia is developing at a fast pace with many ongoing development projects consuming a lot of electricity, a situation which has resulted into increasing demand for power supply.

He said this situation means that the country will continue having power deficits for the next couple of years if Zambia’s power utility firm is not complemented with external supply.

He said there is therefore need to generate more power in the country in order to meet the growing demand.

Mr. Ramesh was speaking during the Engineering Institute of Zambia (EIZ) discussion forum in Lusaka last night.

He said Maamba Collieries’ US$800 million coal-powered thermal electricity generation plant will play a significant role in reducing the power deficit once it is completed.

And EIZ vice president Francis Mwape said there was need for the country to create a pool of technical cadres in engineering in order to grow and sustain productivity of the country.

Mr. Mwape noted with regret that there were few people in the country who were venturing into the engineering career.

He said this situation has the potential to constrain the productivity of the nation as well as the growth domestic product (GDP) and the competitiveness of the country.

Morning power outage across the country

ZESCO Limited has confirmed the countrywide loss of power experienced this morning. The system disturbance at 03:41hours resulted in the loss of power to all parts of the country except part of Southern and western provinces which continued to be supplied from Victoria Falls power station.

He says by 10:00 hrs power supply was restored in most parts including the Copperbelt and Central provinces.

The outages will happen in future more often. Zambia has a gap of 400 - 500 MW and an increase of economy will bring 200 MW every year.
Peoples of Zambia you have to learn to live without electricity. Buy your own generation system with PV-Solar and Battery backups. No other chances. Come to Greenfields and buy your sun-generator for little money! Industry will be provided first - like Copperbelt.

Your Government is subsidising the mining industry with billions. Without investment in renewable energy you will become power-less. Harvest you own energy - sun never sends an invoice.

Charge your Life! ….. with Solar Power and Renewable Solution from Greenfields Energy

It’s no secret that photovoltaic solar generation had a rocky start in Africa. Over the past couple of years, plummeting panel prices shows everybody that solar is not expensive anymore. Great news for peoples looking for their own Solar power Generator to be independent from ZESCO. Building solar makes a lot of sense. Particularly with panel prices dropping 30 percent in the last year alone.
For the solar market to reach financial viability, there’s one continent that’s going to drive the bulk of the demand that will make it happen. This place has some great things going for it:
• Perfect geographical location for solar power generation (lots of sun, all the time),
• Energy poverty: scarcity of energy production of any kind,
• 587 million of the one billion who live there have little or no electricity,
• a woefully underdeveloped – and in some places non-existent – power grid
This is also a place where payback on solar-generated electricity can come within months or even weeks. There are several reasons for this. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), about 85 percent of those 587 million people without electricity live in rural areas. To them, solar – despite its premium costs in developed countries – looks very cost-competitive when compared to other sources of generation.
Where is This Place, Anyway?

Comlight© 400 the All-In-One Independent Streetlight

The new 400 Lumen (lm) solar streetlight combines high quality with several innovative features at lowest production cost. It provides latest achievements in Lithium-Ion and LED technology for a durable all-in- one independent light source. The high-efficiency LEDs combined with an intelligent power management system leads to relative small battery size, which eventually allows for a lean and elegant system design. The solar panel has been fully integrated into the basic version of the lamp.

Equipped with an intelligent micro- controller and a motion sensor, the lamp will automatically switch to a dimmed mode to save energy when full brightness is not needed. The housing is made of high-quality powder coated aluminium, and together with the integrated mono crystalline solar panel the physical lifetime is beyond 20 years. All electronic components are sealed in IP65 protected housings, which makes the developed streetlight well-suited for tropical climates.
