The project will also contribute to a cleaner energy future for Malawi, reducing reliance on costly diesel generators, cutting carbon emissions by ~10,000 tonnes annually, and unlocking the full uptake of at least 100 MW of variable renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, into the grid.
Malawi's energy supply system consists of five components: biomass, electricity, liquid fuels and gas, coal and other renewables. These components were integrated as the basis for formulating this IEP (Integrated Energy Policy).
Malawi's geographical location necessitates a reasonable internal storage capacity to prevent supply disruptions due to natural or man-made emergencies. The recommended capacity for a landlocked country is at least 90 days' supply [as suggested by GoM, SADC, and the International Energy Agency].
In Malawi, solar energy developments are helping local communities maintain sustainable energy. For instance, Bwengu Projects Malawi provides teachers in high-needs schools with solar-powered LED projectors in Bwengu, the northern countryside of Malawi.
Malawi gets over its total energy from oil, which is fossil fuel. We depend on this fuel to run our vehicles, generators, power industry and manufacturing, and provide us with electricity in the absence if hydro power. Petrol and diesel powers many of our municipal transportation fleets and the trucks that deliver goods to markets.
