Overview Eswatini Energy Company (“EEC”) is Eswatini’s main power generating, transmitting, and distribution company.
In Eswatini, 79% of the population represents the rural population, and their energy consumption patterns are primarily based on rural fuel sources. The second salient feature of Eswatini’s energy consumption patterns relates to this division between on-grid and off-grid consumers.
Eswatini’s energy revolution is a testament to its dedication to sustainability and self-sufficiency. As Eswatini strides into the future with renewable energy, the convergence of local innovation, international collaboration and growth-oriented policies promises to illuminate every corner of the nation.
A nation that has long relied on neighboring South Africa and Mozambique for unsustainable fossil fuel-based electricity imports, renewable energy in Eswatini is quickly diversifying. The transformative journey culminated at the COP26 conference, where Eswatini committed to an ambitious 50% surge in renewable energy production by 2030.
