China’s Green Shield Security Services Limited has announced plans to develop a 900MW solar power project with battery storage to support Zambia’s efforts to address the ongoing power crisis facing the country.
According to the company, work on the project will begin immediately once the Government grants formal approval.
The announcement was made during a meeting with the Minister of Energy, where the company sought guidance on suitable locations and available incentives for the solar plant.
The company expressed a strong commitment to fast-tracking the investment and aligning with Zambia’s energy development agenda.
Minister of Energy Makozo Chikote welcomed the delegation and assured them of the Government’s full support.
He emphasised that all energy projects remain a priority and that clearance processes would be expedited to ensure quick implementation.
The Minister highlighted the need for rapid project execution, teamwork, and minimal bureaucracy to attract and retain serious investors.
He encouraged Green Shield and other potential investors to work closely with the Ministry to expand Zambia’s energy capacity and drive economic growth.
