1. Country Context

Low population (Total):

2,154,863

(2017

)

Country sparsely populated with population density of

3.98p/m2

At

the rate of 1.98%, the population will about 3million, in the year 2030

Overall, total electricity consumption increased

by

80%, from 1,931

GWh

in 2001 to 3,477

GWh

in 2016.

Maximum

Electricity Demand – 600MW

Botswana Power Corporation

undertook a demand forecast in 2012, which projected annual consumption of electricity to reach 6,055

GWh

by 2031

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) competed this year ( a 20 year roadmap) recommending technologies for power generation

IRP

considers

CSP, PV, WIND AND Coal Bed Methane for planning period

2. Institutional set up

DEPARTMENT

OF ENERGY

(DOE)

Overall coordination for development and implementation of energy policy.

Goal is to provide

affordable, reliable and adequate supply of energy for sustainable development, as well as to improve access to, and efficient use of energy

resources.

BOTSWANA

ENERGY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (BERA)

Established

by the

BERA Act

No. 13 of

2016.

the

Authority’s primary mandate is to provide for economic regulation of the sector.

2. Institutional set up

BOTSWANA

POWER CORPORATION (BPC)

The

Corporation was established through the Botswana Power Corporation Act of 1970

.

Its primary functions are the generation, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity to the nation.

BPC

carries out its mandate through private sector and in certain cases directly.

2. Institutional set up

BOTSWANA BUREAU OF STANDARDS OF STANDARDS (BOBS)

formulates

Botswana standards and co-ordinating quality assurance activities in Botswana with mission to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Botswana.

PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AND ASSET DISPOSAL BOARD (PPADB)

was enacted by an Act of Parliament [Cap 42:08] of 2001. PPADB is a

parastatal

organisation.

The primary mandate of PPADB is to adjudicate and award tenders for Central Government and any other institutions specified under the Act for the delivery of works, services and supplies related services

2. Institutional set up

In order to achieve its mandate PPADB encourages the following:

Promote an open, competitive economy and procurement policies and strategies which dynamically impact on continual basis on domestic procurement policy and practice, with due regard for government macro-economic policies and overall economic management strategies;

Promote

competition as the mechanism through which value for money can be achieved;

Promote fairness and equitable treatment of contractors providing works, supplies and services to government to maintain a level playing field;

Promote accountability and transparency in the management of public procurement and disposal of public assets;

Ensure integrity, fairness and public confidence in the procurement and disposal process

3. POLICY FRAMEWORK

National Energy Policy

The

overall Energy Policy goal is to provide affordable, reliable and adequate

supply of energy for sustainable development, as well as to improve access to and efficient use of energy resources.

Related Policy Objectives

increase share of new and renewable sources of energy in the energy supply mix of the country;

improve energy efficiency and demand management in all sectors of the economy;

3. POLICY FRAMEWORK

Renewable Energy Strategy (2018

)

Action Agenda

RE Strategy established that 20 percent of Batswana households will not connected to BPC network which translates to 145 000 households.

Recommended the Off Grid Solar PV

Programme

for remote households

SE4 All Report (2018

)

Botswana is a signatory of the new global framework, termed “the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” adopted by the UN member States in September 2015

Recommended SWH and Solar PV to be part of the Off Grid PV

Programme

15 % target for renewable energy by

2030

100 % electricity Access by 2030

3. Policy Framework

Vision 2036

exploitation of renewable energy resources to complement conventional energy

Energy Efficiency will be used as a management strategy to meet energy demand

National Development Plan 11

The eleventh National Development Plan (NDP 11) is the first medium term plan towards the implementation of the country’s second vision –

Vision 2036

.

The

Plan will run from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2023

.

The energy sector will promote the use of locally available sources of energy to reduce reliance on imported energy, and to encourage energy conservation and saving in all

sectors

.

PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS GEARED TOWARDS ACCESS TO

ENERGY

GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF ENERGY RESOURCES

2 x 50 MW Solar Power Plant Project -

the project will be implemented through an Independent Power Producer (IPP)

Twelve (12) Grid-Tied Solar Projects -

Only two projects for

Bobonong

and

Shakawe

have been awarded, while the other ten projects at other sites are being evaluated. The size of the plants ranges from 0.4 MW to 4 MW

Expan

sion

of grid in Twenty (20) Rural Areas Solar Project -

The aim of the project is to extend grid from primary schools with solar electricity to other government facilities such as clinics and the

kgotla

or even the entire village where possible

4.

PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS GEARED TOWARDS ACCESS TO

ENERGY

Rooftop

Solar Deployment

Programme

–

this involves development of the rooftop solar

programme

including policy, regulation, standards and administrative processes based on international experiences and best practice.

Off Grid Solar PV

Programme

-

The

programme

intends to roll-out Off-Grid Solar Solutions such as solar home systems for houses and small businesses, solar water heaters and solar photovoltaic for water pumping for livestock and horticulture to the remote dwellers.

5 Opportunities

Will come when IRP is implemented

But feasibility studies for CSP has to be done and Wind Validation

Manufacturing (

Solar Panels,

Controllers

, Inverters)
