SummaryLocationOverviewConstruction costs and timelineRecent developmentsSee alsoExternal links

The Zambia Riverside Solar Power Station is a 34 megawatts solar power plant in Zambia. The privately owned solar farm was originally commissioned in April 2018, as a 1 MW power station by Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC), who own the energy infrastructure. In December 2021, CEC signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Sinohydro to expand the solar farm by 33 extra MW over the next 12 months. CEC transmits and distributes t

Solar Sector Zambia

Zambia has a high potential for solar power and the sector is growing. Right now, Zambia mainly depends on hydropower, due to the large dams generating electricity in the country. Droughts made this electricity source less dependable and combined with the increase in electricity demand a new renewable source is desirable.

Solar Power Potential Zambia

The Zambian solar power potential is high. In general, only 31% of the population has access to electricity. In rural areas, this average is even lower. Here the rates lay between approximately 4% and 11%. At the same time, the demand for electricity is growing, which shows the potential for generating more electricity.
