The 2022/23 National Energy Use Survey was conducted by Department of Energy in collaboration with Statistics Botswana and Botswana Institute for Technology Research and Innovation (BITRI).
The average electricity demand for Botswana is at 850megawatts (MW), against ageneration capacity of 893MW. Demand of electricity is projected to grow to over 1200MW by2030.
Botswana can partly be self-sufficient with domestically produced energy. The total production of all electric energy producing facilities is three bn kWh. That is 67 percent of the country''s own usage.
In 2023, Botswana''s electricity consumption is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, with more than half of its electricity coming specifically from coal. Overall, around 57% of its electricity originates from fossil
Botswana Total Energy Consumption data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by U.S. Energy Information Administration. The data is categorized under Global Database''s Botswana – Table
Botswana: Electricity consumption, billion kilowatthours: The latest value from 2023 is 3.88 billion kilowatthours, an increase from 3.74 billion kilowatthours in 2022. In comparison, the world average
NOTE: This time series graph shows the Electricity Consumption of Botswana based on our stored data from 2004 to 2024, taken from the CIA World fact books of the respective years.
This trend highlights Botswana''s continued reliance on regional electricity suppliers to meet its growing energy demands, emphasizing the urgent need to enhance domestic generation capacity and
