3. THE POWER SUPPLY CHALLENGE - REGIONAL AND ZAMBIAN PERSPECTIVE
15
I.MAIN DRIVERS OF ELECTRICTY DEMAND AND THE DEFICIT Economic Growth of more than 5% in most of the SADC member countries resulting in unprecedented growth in electricity consumption and demand Driven by increased demand for base metals resulting in high metals prices on world market New mining companies established and others expanded Growth in other sectors such as industry, commerce, agriculture, housing, etc Country electrification programmes – rural and urban Inadequate investment in generation and transmission infrastructure over the last 20 – 30 years
16
II.ENERGY DEMAND PROJECTIONS EXISTING CAPACITY TO BE EXHAUSTED AROUND 2007/08 BOTH NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DEMAND TO SURPASS CURRENT CAPACITY NEED FOR NEW POWER PLANTS ELECTRICITY IS KEY TO NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
17
1998 2007 20102000 Installed Capacity Future demand SAPP DEMAND PROJECTIONS 1998 TO 2010
19
THE CHALLENGE WAS IDENTIFIED AND COMMUNICATED BUT NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED
20
III.CHALLENGES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED CAPITAL INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS -Power projects have long gestation periods -Pre-feasibility & feasibility studies plus EIA -Project packaging and mobilisation of finance -Plus project implementation 5 – 7years -Power sector investments require huge capital outlay -Characterised by long payback periods -But private sector requires short term returns -Power projects compete for capital with more lucrative projects with short term returns
21
CHALLENGES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSEDCont’d SUB-ECONOMIC TARIFFS -Tariffs in Zambia too low & not cost reflective -Cannot meet typical investment requirements -Legacy of socialist economy -Topic flavoured by socio-political issues
22
COMPARISON OF REGIONAL TARIFFS (2007)
24
CHALLENGES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSEDCont’d SURPLUS CAPACITY - Zambia was an energy surplus nation -Economy went through period of stagnation -Did not anticipate high rate of economic recovery -
25
CHALLENGES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSEDCont’d STAKEHOLDERS AND LOBBY GROUPS -Sector opened to private investment through Electricity Act CAP 433 of 1995 -Govt. established OPPI in 1999 -Package of incentives for private sector investment in power projects put in place -Future generation projects to be private sector driven -Endless debates on privatisation and/or restructuring of ZESCO but no new Megawatts -Private sector was seen as panacea for future energy requirements but none came to invest -Generation projects taken away from ZESCO -
26
ZESCO’S RESPONSE -ZESCO recognised that time was being lost in privatisation and other debates about the structure of the industry -Not permitted to invest in new generation projects -Saw that the nation would one day wake up to a power deficit -Need for quick intervention at least to delay day of reckoning - Took the option of changing scope of its Power Rehabilitation Project to include uprating -Uprating of Kafue Gorge and Kariba North Bank to add 210MW of additional capacity at minimal cost -This action delayed project completion but it was worthwhile ZESCO’S RESPONSE TO CHALLENGES
27
4. ZESCO SYSTEM STATUS
28
-PRP in progress at Kafue Gorge and Kariba North Bank power stations -Total 450MW not available -Available capacity 1,170MW -Current national demand 1,450MW -The deficit is a peak period phenomenon, sufficient capacity during off-peak periods -Load management otherwise known as load shedding required in order to maintain balance of supply and demand during peak periods ZAMBIA: CURRENT DEFICIT

31
5. STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THE DEFICIT
32
I.SHORT TERM STRATEGIES DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT Reduction in peak demand by voluntary load reduction -otherwise power rationing and load shedding by ZESCO Process efficiencies Use energy efficient appliances equipment e.g. - replace incandescent lamps with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) Shifting of load away from peak periods -switch off unnecessary appliances during peak periods e.g. electric geysers, swimming pool pumps, borehole pumps -business houses can shift (some) production processes to off-peak and benefit from off-peak tariffs Power factor improvements -large consumers such as mines, industry and agriculture -carefully selected process equipment -retro-fitting capacitor units on inductive equipment such as electric motors
33
UPRATING OF EXISTING POWER STATIONS Kafue Gorge- 900MW TO 990MW Kariba North Bank- 600MW TO 720MW Additional capacity:- 210MW ZESCO to accelerate PRP -complete Kafue Gorge December 2008 -complete Kariba North Bank March 2009 Similar projects being undertaken at regional level SHORT TERM STRATEGIES cont’d
