GreenCo Power Services Limited, the Zambian entity of the Africa GreenCo Group, has commissioned its newly constructed office complex in Lusaka.

The head office complex, which is fully powered by solar energy, was officially launched by Zambia’s Minister of Energy, Makozo Chikote.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Minister Chikote described GreenCo Power’s initiative as a significant demonstration of investor confidence in Zambia’s electricity sector and a testament to the government’s clear policy direction in support of private sector participation.

Mr. Chikote said the development reflects the country’s drive toward renewable and alternative energy solutions.

He emphasized that under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema, the government is prioritizing strategic collaboration with private players to increase electricity generation and reduce load-shedding.

The Minister further noted that several energy investments are expected to mature soon, adding that the government remains committed to long-term solutions anchored in diversification and open access to transmission infrastructure.

“We must strengthen partnerships with the private sector because it plays a critical role in powering our economy,” he said.

GreenCo Managing Director, Mr. Wezi Gondwe, said the launch of the office complex comes at a crucial time when Zambia is facing electricity shortages, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting the country through renewable energy trading.

The new GreenCo office complex is located along Independence Avenue in Lusaka, near Woodlands Mall.
