In 2022, most of Botswana's electricity distributed was locally generated, at around 3.2 million megawatt hours. This was an increase compared to the previous year, when roughly 2.1 million megawatt hours of electricity were produced locally. On the other hand, imported electricity in 2022 amounted to almost 1.1 million megawatt hours.
