The increase was attributable to the performance improvement of Morupule A and B power stations.
Where does Botswana's electricity come from?
Prior to this period, most of Botswana’s electricity was imported from South Africa’s power utility, Eskom. In 2008 South Africa’s electricity demand started to exceed its supply, resulting in the South African government restricting power exports.
Where does Botswana get its power?
In 2023, BPC agreed to procure up to 600 MW of power generation from a yet-to-be-built coal-fired power station. Additionally, Botswana imports the bulk of its power from South African utility Eskom, and the rest from Nampower (Namibia), Zesco (Zambia), and the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), to make up for any production shortfalls.
How many coal-fired power plants are there in Botswana?
