Table 3 shows the installed capacity in 2012,
broken down by type. As already indicated
there was 132MW of coal-fired capacity and
160MW of diesel-fired gas turbine peaking
capacity. There is also a limited amount of offgrid capacity based on solar cells (not shown
in the table since capacities are not known),
mostly supplied by a company called BPC
Lesedi, a collaborative effort between BPC the
UNDP and the Global Environment Facility.
EDF International is also a partner in the
scheme.

Introduction,
market background and USPs
Analyst input into
marketing
Botswana has established itself as one of the most stable democracies in Southern Africa. The country has major coal
reserves and one of the highest solar intensities in the continent. However its electricity sector has been hampered by both
low access to power by the population, and an extremely limited generating capacity. In the past the small generating
capacity has been compensated for by the ready import of power from South Africa. However a power shortage in the latter
means that exports are being significantly curtailed so that several countries in the Southern African Power Pool including
Botswana must increase their own generating capacity to compensate. Capacity is being expanded with a major new power
plant using Chinese contractors, but the project is behind schedule, and the Botswana Power Corporation is having to use
emergency diesel generation to meet the shortfall. Over the medium term there are plans for further significant capacity
expansion so that all demand can be met from within Botswana and that, potentially, the country could use its coal reserves
to become an exporter of power. Plans to attract independent power producers will depend on an overhaul of the regulatory
framework, currently underway, and the establishment of electricity tariffs determined by market rates. If this can be achieved
then the country appears to offer opportunities for a range of both generation, transmission and distribution projects.
