In 2021, around 73.7 percent of the population in Botswana had access to electricity. This represented an increase of almost 1.9 percent from the previous year. Botswana is becoming less dependent on imports for its electricity supply in an effort to stabilize its energy supply. In 2023, the country suffered a countrywide blackout due to a reported grid disturbance.
