Zambia is potentially self-sufficient in sources of electricity, coal, biomass and renewable energy. The only energy source where the country is not self-sufficient is petroleum energy. Many of the sources of energy where the country is self-sufficient are largely unexploited. As of 2017, the country''s electricity generating capacity stood at 1,901 megawatts.

The tree species for renewable energy production were determined. The species were identified on the basis of abundance, diversity, regeneration status, and perceived utilization.

By 2030, the government of Zambia hopes to increase its electricity generation to 6,000 megawatts. A single 54-megawatt solar power plant saves Zambia nearly $140 million in capital over 25 years, serving

Zambia is currently grappling with the effects of El Niño. El Niño is a climate phenomenon that occurs every few years in an irregular pattern. El Niño events can last for 9-12 months. However, the El Niño events can vary in duration and intensity. They can last for 9 months with varied intensity or they can last for 12 months or even years.
