3 FAQs about Malawi Energy Storage Project Database

Where can I find information about energy in Malawi?

For information about energy in Malawi, contact the Department of Energy Affairs at the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining. You can reach them at Capital House, City Centre, P/Bag 309, Lilongwe 3, Malawi. Their contact details are: Tel No. (265) 1 770688, Fax No. (265) 1 770094/771954, and E-mail: [email protected].

How can Malawi achieve a cleaner energy future?

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.

Is Malawi a proof point for geapp's Bess project?

By breaking ground for this BESS project (and its subsequent completion expected in 2025), Malawi is an important proof point for the BESS Consortium launched by GEAPP at COP28 to secure 5 gigawatts (GW) of BESS commitments in low and middle income countries (LMICs) by the end of 2024.
