ザンビアの電力システムは水力依存度が高く、気候変動による干ばつに脆弱である。本論文は2025年6月に稼働した100MWのチサンバ太陽光発電所を事例に、大規模太陽光がSDGs達成に果たす役割を、エネルギー安全保障、社会経済開発、環境持続可能性、政策・資金調達の4次元から分析する。定性的なケーススタディであり、再生可能エネルギー導入の教訓を提供する。
English
Zambia's power system relies on hydropower for over 80% of capacity, leaving it vulnerable to climate-induced droughts. Using the 100 MW Chisamba Solar Power Plant (commissioned June 2025) as a case study, the paper analyzes utility-scale solar's contribution to SDGs across energy security, socio-economic development, environmental sustainability, and policy/financing frameworks. A qualitative mixed-method case study offering lessons for solar deployment in drought-prone, hydropower-dependent economies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の再生可能エネルギー導入や海外インフラ投資（アフリカ・ザンビア市場）に関心を持つ企業・政策関係者にとって、気候脆弱な電力系統に対する大規模太陽光の役割を考える上で参考になる。ただし、日本国内の制度や開示実務に直接つながる内容ではない。
In the global GX context
This case study contributes empirical evidence on utility-scale solar as a resilience strategy for hydropower-dependent grids in sub-Saharan Africa, aligning with global energy transition and climate finance debates. It offers a policy-relevant example of how SDG-linked infrastructure projects are developed and financed in emerging markets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a qualitative framework for evaluating solar energy's multi-dimensional impact on energy transitions in developing countries.
🏢実務担当者:Useful for renewable energy project developers and financiers seeking lessons on implementation and policy alignment in African markets.
🏛政策担当者:Relevant for energy regulators and international cooperation agencies considering diversification of hydropower-dependent power systems.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Zambia's electricity system remains critically dependent on hydropower, which accounts for over 80% of installed generation capacity, creating significant vulnerability to the climate-induced droughts that have intensified across Southern Africa. This study examines the role of utility-scale solar energy in advancing Zambia's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using the 100 MW Chisamba Solar Power Plant - commissioned in June 2025 as the largest grid-connected solar facility in Zambia and the biggest of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa outside South Africa - as a primary case study. Employing a mixedmethod case study design, the research draws on document review, policy analysis, secondary statistical data, and reported stakeholder evidence. Guided by Sustainable Development Theory and Energy Transition Theory, the study applies thematic analysis across four dimensions: energy security and diversification, socio-economic development, environmental sustainability, and policy and financing frameworks.
