The majority of Malawi’s electricity supply comes from hydroelectric power plants. Renewable sources such as solar and geothermal, imported petroleum-based products, and biomass (e.g., predominately firewood and charcoal) also contribute to energy supply.
Revised in July 2023, this map provides a detailed view of the power sector in Malawi. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including liquid fuels, coal, geothermal, hybrid, hydroelectricity, solar PV, wind and biomass/biogas.
The types of companies range from those marketing solar home systems and fuel saving stoves, to those operating at larger scales on the development of a wind energy, marketing and distributing clean cooking technologies, and more. A range of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and private sector firms engage in Malawi’s energy sector.
Droughts and dry spells limit water supply passing through the hydropower system, which in turn limits electricity generation; and flash floods and other periods of heavy, inconsistent rainfall lead to too much water passing through power plants. In both cases, extreme weather patterns afect Malawi’s primary source of electricity generation.
