Published November 2024, African Energy Live Data presents a snapshot of Zambia's grid-connected power generation sector through three charts: Installed capacity trends, 2010-2023 Energy mix pie charts: 2018, 2023, 2028 Snapshot of the project pipeline, 2024-2028. . In the electricity subsector, the national installed generation capacity increased to 3,871. This growth was driven by additional capacity from solar power plants, notably the Kitwe solar plants (CEC's Itimpi & Riverside), which expanded from 34 MW in 2023. . Zambia has 2,800 MW of installed electricity generation capacity, of which 83 percent is from hydro, nine percent from coal, five percent from heavy fuel oil, and three percent from solar. Market entry strategies and risks in se-lected sectors 7. Map of Zambian climatic zones TABLE 2. Conditions for. . Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. However, the current installed capacity for solar photovoltaics is only 90 MWp, indicating significant underutilisation of Zambia's potential in the renewable energy sector.
