New net-metering regulation: A game changer for Zambia

The development of the net-metering regime in Zambia to scale up renewable energy self-generation has been identified as one of the priorities by the Zambian Ministry of Energy (MoE). The European Union has supported this work since 2018 through the Increased Access to Electricity and Renewable Energy Production (IAEREP) project implemented by

Behind the Meter: Battery Energy Storage Concepts,

BTM BESS are connected behind the utility service meter of the commercial, industrial, or residential consumers and their primary objective is consumer energy management and electricity bill savings. The BTM BESS acts as a load during the batteries charging periods and act as a generator during the batteries discharging periods.

USTDA Funds Battery Energy Storage Expansion in Zambia

The USTDA-funded study will inform GreenCo''s selection of battery storage technologies and system design by assessing the technical, economic, and financial viability of developing and implementing a utility-scale BESS pilot in the Sesheke District of Zambia, where it will be paired with a solar photovoltaic project.

What is Behind The Meter (BTM) Energy Storage?

Behind-The-Meter (BTM) energy storage involves integrating energy storage systems, such as batteries, allowing users to store excess electricity for future use. This approach, highlighted in emerging markets like data centres, aims to address peak demand costs, enhance grid stability, and provide backup power during outages in regions with

What is behind the meter energy storage?

Can battery storage be used with solar photovoltaics in Zambia?

The Zambian regulation foresees customs duty and VAT exemptions for most equipment used in renewable energy or battery storage projects. Detailed information is provided in In this section, we discuss the opportunity of battery storage in combination with solar photovoltaics from a financial point of view.

How does Zambia modernise its energy system?

With the net-metering regulation, Zambia is taking one of the steps to modernise its energy system. This update includes energy market reforms, modernisation of policy and regulatory instruments, improved system planning, work on cross-border interconnections, and diversification of energy technology sources.

Can net-metering regulation be implemented in Zambia?

A cost and benefit analysis (CBA) of the net-metering regulation implementation in the specific context of Zambia and its energy supply industry was fundamental during Phase 2. The CBA determined the general feasibility of the implementation and a “just and reasonable” rate structure for net-metering prosumers.

How much does storage cost in Zambia?

Zambia, between USD 500/kWh and USD 1,000/ kWh. With 3,650 kWh stored during the lifetime of the system, we can compute a cost of storage of USD 0.14/kWh and USD 0.27/kWh.

What will Zambia's energy demand look like in 2040?

The government anticipates that peak demand will be at 8,000 MW by 2030 and 10,000 MW by 2040 (from around 3,000 MW in 2022). It also projects that the demand will be largely driven by mining and agricultural consumers and not residential consumers as projected in the COSS (Government of Zambia, 2022). 4.
