Technical FAQs 4

How does Malawi use its energy?

Malawi gets over its total energy from oil, which is fossil fuel. We depend on this fuel to run our vehicles, generators, power industry and manufacturing, and provide us with electricity in the absence if hydro power. Petrol and diesel powers many of our municipal transportation fleets and the trucks that deliver goods to markets.

How can Malawi achieve a cleaner energy future?

The project will also contribute to a cleaner energy future for Malawi, reducing reliance on costly diesel generators, cutting carbon emissions by ~10,000 tonnes annually, and unlocking the full uptake of at least 100 MW of variable renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, into the grid.

Who supplies electricity in Malawi?

Malawi’s electricity is po ered by EGENCO through the Electricity Supply Commission of Malawi (ESCOM) main electricity grid. The National...
