Figure 5 shows the breakdown of production
by source in Zambia. The largest output was
from the three ZESCO large hydropower
plants and the SN Power plants - which supply
power to the interconnected system. Together
these plants generated 10,046GWh.

Introduction,
market background and USPs
Analyst input into
marketing
Zambia is a landlocked nation in Southern Africa that takes its name from the Zambezi River which runs through the country,
and forms its southern border with Zimbabwe. The country’s main source of wealth is its copper mines, and the economy has
remained relatively strong during the recession, but is susceptible to commodity price swings. However the country remains
poor, and access to electricity at around 20% is very low. Zambia relies almost exclusively on hydropower for its electricity,
and generation is currently constrained by the limited generating capacity. New capacity is planned, but the government
must rely on foreign investors or external donor agencies to supply the investment necessary. Both large hydropower and a
coal-fired plant are planned, and investment appears to have been secured for at least two major projects. Meanwhile the
government is investing in rural electrification. The country is a key member of the Southern African Power Pool, and
provides a link between the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa through which power can be wheeled.
