Another state-owned company, the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM), then distributes the generated electricity. Hydropower provides 99 % of electricity to the national grid, of which the Shire River installed Hydroelectric Power Plants, produce 98 % of it.

What is the low case scenario for electricity access in Malawi?

For the Low Case Scenario, the access to electricity in the urban areas is expected to grow to a level not higher than 70 % in 2030. This is based on the historical trend of electricity access in Malawi. The percentage of access to electricity urban and rural households was derived by the following Eq. (1) (Saha et al., 2015).

How will power supply capacity grow in Malawi?

Table 11 shows the growth of Malawi's installed capacity as new (likely) power projects come on the grid. It is expected that between 2020 and 2030 power supply capacity will be increased from 522 MW to 1473 MW respectively from both EGENCO/GoM Power Supply Projects and private developers.

Does Malawi have access to electricity?

Like most of the sub-Saharan African countries, access to electricity in Malawi is a persistent and biggest challenge faced by the population. According to the population census of 2018 conducted by the National Statistical Office (NSO), access to electricity in Malawi was at 11 % to a population of about 18 million people (NSO, 2018).

Why should Malawi develop a long-term power generation plan?

Considering the challenges and future energy demand projections, the Government of Malawi (GoM) needs to develop a long-term power generation plan with emphasis on future energy mix.
