In a recent workshop, Eswatini has honed in on financial design aspects of Distributed Generation (DG) frameworks. Hosted by Sustainable Energy Africa (SEA) in the context of GET.transform’s Policy Catalyst Distributed Generation Window, the participants included the Eswatini Energy Regulatory Authority (ESERA), and the Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC).
The energy sector representatives examined topics like export credit design, revenue impact analysis, cost of supply study, and DG application processes.
Eswatini has made remarkable progress in facilitating distributed generation uptake. with DG now contributing more than 11% of Eswatini’s maximum demand. Primarily in the shape of rooftop PV systems, DG has grown to an impressive installed capacity of 30 MW.
Not least through participating in the Policy Catalyst DG Window, Eswatini will continue to develop and refine frameworks that support the safe, effective and financially viable integration of distributed generation.
