dc.description.abstractThe main intention of this study is to analyze the feasibility of the adoption of solar energy in Botswana on a large scale which could be used to decrease dependence on electricity imported from South Africa. The study presents a proposal that would be sustainable and innovative in a particular geographical area, Tlokweng, in the southeast section of Botswana. To measure the feasibility of the study, innovation strategies from existing energy policies and the environmental law of the country are considered, along with the role and goals of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), as well as Botswana’s Vision 2016 Program. The analysis of the project’s feasibility is based on the assessment of economic, social and environment strategies and impacts.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
