Zambia's Government Delivers On Its Promise To Ramp Up Electricity Generation Capacity, With Solar Playing A Key Role

Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Zambia has deployed 500 MW of utility-scale solar capacity over three years and aims to reach 1,000 MW by end of 2026, part of a plan to increase total generation from 4.5 GW to 10 GW and end loadshedding that once reached 20 hours daily.

Worth noting

Target to reach 1,000 MW by end of 2026 is a goal, not yet achieved; current deployed capacity is 500 MW.
