Botswana: Abridged IRP released


Issue 431 - 28 Jan 2021 | 2 minute read

Botswana has released its 2020 integrated resource plan (IRP), which provides policy scenarios for the generation mix until 2040, approving procurement of 795MW of new capacity at the same time. This includes 135MW of solar PV to come online next year, and 10MW-100MW of coalbed methane generation (CBM) by 2025. Procurement is well under way for both technologies, with five bidders submitting proposals for two 50MW plants in December and Tlou Energy and Sekaname both negotiating CBM projects with the government.
