6 FAQs about [Lusaka Household Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Project]

Can EPC companies build a solar power plant in Zambia?

Zambia's power utility, ZESCO Limited, invites expressions of interest from EPC companies for the development of a 7.5MW on-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Kasupe, Lusaka. The project aims to enhance the country's energy mix, leveraging renewable sources, with construction set to commence in Q2 2024.

How much does a solar power plant cost in Zambia?

President Edgar Lungu has commissioned the 54 megawatts solar power plant, Zambia’s largest solar renewable energy project constructed at a cost of $60 million. This represents Zambia’s first utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) farm.

Why is solar power so popular in Zambia?

Moreover, the cost of solar panels has significantly decreased in recent years, making solar power systems one of the most cost-effective means of electricity generation, even on a small scale. Zambia has ample year-round sunshine for the generation of solar power as shown in the map below.

Can solar power save money in Zambia?

With its year-round sunshine and geographical location, Zambia is well positioned to integrate solar power into its energy mix dominated by climate-vulnerable hydropower. “The Scaling Solar Project will make Zambia save significant amounts of money in the long run,” said Ina Ruthenberg, World Bank Country Manager for Zambia.

Will Zambia's hydro-based power plants help curb power shortages?

Zambia’s Minister of Energy, Mathew Nkhuwa, said the projects will not only curb power shortages and provide a source of energy that complements Zambia’s hydro-based system, they “will allow the government of Zambia to reduce its electricity purchase from expensive diesel power plants.”

How much will Zambia save from hydropower plants?

Based on initial assumptions, Zambia’s savings over the first 25 years would be about $163 million per 50 MW power plant. The first two plants will increase the country’s available generating capacity by 5% and will help restore water levels in its hydropower dams.
