Zambia launched a 100-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) project on Monday, the country’s largest grid-connected solar initiative to date, marking an important step toward addressing its ongoing energy deficit.
The $100 million Chisamba Solar Plant is located in the Chisamba District in central Zambia and was developed by Kariba North Bank Extension Power Corporation, a subsidiary of the state-run power utility Zesco Limited. The project is a significant milestone in Zambia’s goal to add 1,000 MW of solar power to the national grid by the end of 2025.
