Small Hydro in Zambia

Small Hydro opportunities in Zambia
GET FiT Small Hydro
Ø 100 MW total, projects ranging from 1 MW to 20 MW
Ø EDF prequalified, amongst many other local and
international developers - awaiting RFP
Ø Rural electrification
Ø

Strengths of small hydro
Significantly lower carbon emissions than large hydro
Ø Lower environmental impact than large hydro
Ø Complimentary generation profile when paired with
conventional wind and solar
Ø Diversification of tributaries, reducing reliance on one river
Ø

Difficulties with small hydro
Significant development cost and time for a small project
Ø Risks of a off-taker creditworthiness remain
Ø
