The Zambian regulation foresees customs duty and VAT exemptions for most equipment used in renewable energy or battery storage projects. Detailed information is provided in In this section, we discuss the opportunity of battery storage in combination with solar photovoltaics from a financial point of view.
Private companies also trade in electricity in Zambia. The largest of these, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (CEC), buys electricity primarily from ZESCO and sells it to the various mines in the Copperbelt Province. It also operates its own generators, most of which run on fossil fuels.
The Electricity Act regulates the generation, trans-mission, distribution and supply of electricity to enhance the security and reliability of electricity sup-ply in Zambia. It codifies the rules on tariff setting and introduces the concept of intermediary power trading, a concept that was missing from the previous regulatory framework.
Zambia, between USD 500/kWh and USD 1,000/ kWh. With 3,650 kWh stored during the lifetime of the system, we can compute a cost of storage of USD 0.14/kWh and USD 0.27/kWh.
According to the 2015 Road Conditions Survey, 87% of the paved Trunk, Main and District (TMD) road network in Zambia is in good condition, while 8% is in fair condition and 5% in poor condition. All major cities and towns in the country are easily accessible by road, which includes the vast majority of factories and mining sites.
