Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, , language: English, abstract: The paper is developed with intentions to evaluate energy supply systems in African poorest countries and a comparison to those that have amicable energy systems. The focus is however emphasized on Malawi as the country is hardly hit by energy poverty, and its subsequent economic status currently ranked among top ten poorest African countries justify the goal to discuss on the renewable energy technology to be implemented as the matter of agency. Malawi mostly relies upon biomass as a source of energy to either cook, light or even for industrial sector. With the increasing population growth which surpasses that of the world growth, currently at 3.3% as of august, 2014 statistical information, proves the need for a proactive approach towards combating energy situation which is currently sustained by intermittent supplement of ESCOM statutory company. The situation however is unreliable as the electricity supply is almost similar to disco lights thereby affecting industrial manufacturing service sector. The research is mostly embarking on solar energy as the best priority and a room for research is being revealed. This is basically because solar energy is free and can be tapped directly as has been the case in the past where it has been used for drying animal skins and also dehydrating raw foods.
