Swaziland depends upon imports to meet 40% of its total final energy requirements, including 55% of its electricity; all of this 55% is purchased from South Africa. While the price of electricity purchased from South Africa is significantly lower than that of electricity produced by the Swaziland Electricity Board (SEB), the political and economic uncertainties of this dependence make indigenous power development a priority. This study examined ways to increase energy efficiency and generate electricity in Swaziland's sugar industry. The industry is made up of three estates and factories, each producing 140,000 to 160,000 tonnes of sugar per annum -- Mhlume Sugar Company, Simunye Sugar Estate, and Ubombo Ranches. The three together account for about 25% of the nation's power utilization. The changes identified at each location consist primarily of equipment modernization which will enhance energy efficiency and take advantage of the additional available energy to generate electricity. One the factories, Ubombo Ranches, could achieve total electricity self-sufficiency (including irrigation power needs) and be able to export power through the use of bagasse fuel only. The other

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.

Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province; squares are facilities.
