According to the ZDA report, wind energy in Zambia is relatively low with wind data collected at 10 meters per second (m/s) above the ground indicating speeds of between 0.1 to 3.5 meters per second with an annual average of 2.5 m/s.
Solar home systems, which are rooftop solar panels that provide electricity for lighting, charging phones and running certain appliances, and mini grids, which are solar electricity generation and storage plants that provide electricity to whole villages – have the potential to reach 8.5 million Zambians currently still without electricity.
LUSAKA, April 1, 2025 – Access to electricity in Zambia has risen from 30% in 2017 to currently nearly 50%. Whilst half of the population is connected, the remaining half will require new energy solutions. Zambia currently relies on hydropower for 80% its electricity generation, but recent droughts have shown the limitations of this energy source.
The World Bank is supporting Zambia's electricity access initiatives, including the development of mini-grids, through projects like the Electricity Services Access Project (ESAP) and the Zambia-Tanzania Interconnector Project (ZTIP), aiming to expand access to affordable and sustainable energy.
