2010 Updated Overview of the Zambian Electricity Industry
Frost & Sullivan, Oct 2010, Pages: 83
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled the 2010 Updated Overview of the Zambian Electricity Industry provides revenue and growth forecasts for the Zambian electricity industry, an analysis of the main equipment suppliers in the country and a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the industry as well as ongoing and planned projects. Changes in industry challenges, market drivers and restraints between 2006 and 2009 are identified and analysed. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: power generation, electricity transmission, electricity distribution and others.
Market Overview
Electrification Drive Charges up the Zambian Electricity Industry
Increased mining activity and the Government’s goal of achieving 66 per cent electrification by 2030 has created a plethora of opportunities for the Zambian electricity industry. Ever since the Government opened up the mining industry to foreign investment in 2000, it has grown tremendously and currently consumes approximately 50 per cent of the country’s generated capacity. Furthermore, the success of this industry has rippled into other industries such as manufacturing. “Robust industrial growth and consequently, the higher need for electricity have brightened the prospects of the country’s electricity industry,” says the analyst of this research.
Despite these market boosters, low foreign direct investment (FDI) and electricity tariffs could restrict the market’s expansion. The fast-paced growth of Zambia’s economy is expected to cause power demand to outstrip supply, which will make it imperative to increase the country’s installed capacity. Further, Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation’s (ZESCO’s) inability to generate funds internally due to the sub-economic electricity tariffs makes the state utility heavily dependent on FDI for power infrastructure construction projects. Conversely, the reduced tariffs deter foreign investors from investing in construction projects, which stalls installed capacity enlargement projects.
“Increasing electricity tariffs and further improving investment incentives for potential investors will improve FDI inflow into the country,” notes the analyst. “Providing potential investors with inducements and raising tariffs such that they are cost reflective will go a long way in attracting the much-needed FDI.”
