August 2021. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. Botswana is an arid to semi-arid country of 582,000 square kilometres located in Southern Africa. It is a landlocked developing and upper-middle-income country with a population of 2.3 million inhabitants, of which 30% live in rural areas. Access to electricity stands at 65% (81% in urban areas and 28% in rural
Solar energy and wind power supply supported by storage technology: A
In the highest fraction, a main source of energy is renewable energy and fossil fuel generates backup energy. Fig. 4 shows that solar energy and wind power with V2G battery storage can meet 99.9% of load hours. Fossil generation fills the gaps nine hours annually generating 0.1% of the time.

Why is There so Little Solar Energy Generation in Botswana?
Large-scale application of solar in Botswana has been limited to a single project: a 1.3 MW solar farm near Phakalane, just north of Gaborone. This project was built and funded by the Japanese government in 2012 who contributed P84 million of the overall cost of ~P106 million (~USD $10 million). This project has delivered close to its planned
