¾ ZAMBIA GEOGRAPHY ¾ PETROLEUM INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES ¾ BIOFUEL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES ¾ ELECTRICITY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES ¾ RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES ¾ COAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
ENERGY INVESTMENT ZAMBIA GEOGRAPHY
• Centrally located in central Southern Africa, with 8 neighbours • Significant land (752,000 square Km), mineral and water resources • Has population of 10 Million people • Is self sufficient in all energy requirements except petroleum
ENERGY INVESTMENT PETROLEUM INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
DOWNSTREAM PETROLEUM SECTOR
• Construction of 50 million litre pet storage terminal in Lusaka on BOT basis.
• Investment in the INDENI petroleum refinery through purchase of at least 20% shareholding.
ENERGY INVESTMENT BIOFUEL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
• Zambia has suitable climate for biofuels, vast Land (752,000 square km) and 30% of the fresh water resources in SADC region. • 42 Million Hectors of the land is arable and only 11% is utilised. • Projections show that only 11% of the arable land would be required to satisfy the country's diesel consumption of 360 million litres per annum with bio diesel. • The country also has good potential for ethanol production from sugar cane or sweet sorghum. Zambia is one of the lowest production costs for sugar cane. • Govt. in process of declaring biofuels sector a priority sector so that investors in the sector could benefit from the Zambia Development agency incentives which include tax waivers on capital equipment. • Govt. has also revised Energy Policy to accommodate biofuels in national development agenda as well as enact legislation for administration of the sector.
ENERGY INVESTMENT ELECTRICITY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
• The country has installed capacity of 1,760 mw. ¾ Hydro is 1,672mw and ¾ thermal is 88mw • The country hydro potential 6 000 MW.

Solar installations in Eastern Zambia • Growing demand for renewable energy • Demand driven by high cost of grid extension in sparsely populated areas. • Solar PV energy service companies have been successfully implemented in the Eastern part of Zambia • Other opportunities include, biomass gasification, biogas, wind energy for water pumping, and small hydro power (there are a lot of small hydro sites in Zambia)
ENERGY INVESTMENTS COAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
• Encourage energy mix; Coal could become a major source of power generation • The country has about 60 Million tonnes of proven coal reserves • The Zambezi valley has potential of billions of tones of coal reserves
ENERGY INVESTMENTS CONCLUSION
Zambia is a prime energy investment destination. Investors should hurry while opportunities are still available.
