Malawi''s energy supply system consists of five components: biomass, electricity, liquid fuels and gas, coal and other renewables. These components were integrated as the basis for formulating this IEP (Integrated Energy Policy).
For information about energy in Malawi, contact the Department of Energy Affairs at the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining. You can reach them at Capital House, City Centre, P/Bag 309, Lilongwe 3, Malawi. Their contact details are: Tel No. (265) 1 770688, Fax No. (265) 1 770094/771954, and E-mail: [email protected].
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].
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.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
