The main energy sources in Lilongwe are firewood, paraffin, and charcoal. By far, firewood is the main source of energy, followed by paraffin and charcoal for domestic use primarily for cooking and heating. The energy sector in Lilongwe also includes electricity, petroleum products (petrol, diesel, paraffin), and grass.
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.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Government of Malawi to support the country's ambition to achieve universal electricity access by 2030 as we pursue the goals of Mission 300: connecting 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030 at unprecedented scale and speed.”
