According to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), only three out of 12 SADC countries (South Africa, Mozambique and Zambia) currently have excess power generation capacity, with the others having a shortfall (www.sapp.co.zw). Hydropower is considered a key solution for minimising greenhouse gas emissions in energy production. In 2016, hydropower accounted for 21% of SADC’s power generation (SAPP, 2016). However, pressure on water resources from population growth, agricultural growth, urbanisation and resultant pollution, limits the potential energy generation that hydropower could offer (IHA, 2017; Opperman et al., 2017).
