African countries have urged energy diversification to reduce dependence on hydropower.

Apr 25,2018

The impact of severe drought in Africa in recent years has not only affected food security, but also affected the energy supply of countries that use hydropower in large quantities.

Langiwe Lungu, executive director of the Zambia energy management council (ERB), points out that, with climate change, hydropower stations in these countries are at risk.

Zambia's electricity deficit rose to 1, 000mw in 2016 as a severe drought reduced the water level of the Kariba dam, the main source of electricity in Zambia.

Similarly, the mines are under pressure, and glencore's Mopani copper mine in Zambia has suspended operations in some areas after power supply restrictions.

Zambia, Africa's second-largest copper producer, has since introduced solar, coal and heavy fuel oil into its energy mix.

"At one point, we had 99 percent of our energy supply coming from hydropower, but now we have about 85 percent of our energy supply," said Lungu.

In addition to Zambia, Kenya has low rainfall, and Kenya, which generates much of its electricity from hydropower and geothermal sources, used expensive diesel to boost power generation last year.
