On 29th July 2023, Serengeti Energy''s Nkhotakota I project, a 21MW solar PV power plant in Malawi achieved commercial operation (COD). The now operational solar power project in the Nkhotakota District, eastern Malawi marks the completion of phase 1 of the Nkhotakota project which was scheduled to be executed in two phases.
According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants worldwide, the project is currently at the permitting stage. It will be developed in multiple phases. The project construction is likely to commence in 2023 and is expected to enter into commercial operation in 2028. Buy the profile here.
Utilizing the Government fuel storage facilities as inland dry ports and common-user facilities. To ensure the effective participation of Malawian nationals in the petroleum products market. Developing and implementing guidelines for franchising of liquid fuel outlets to be adhered to by all OMCs.
Malawi’s geographical location necessitates a reasonable internal storage capacity to prevent supply disruptions due to natural or man-made emergencies. The recommended capacity for a landlocked country is at least 90 days' supply [as suggested by GoM, SADC, and the International Energy Agency].
Currently, in Malawi, there is a lot of wastage of electrical energy and biomass in end-use activities such as cooking, water and space heating, as well as lighting occasioned by use of inefficient appliances and devices. This priority area focuses on savings in electricity and biomass consumption.
