Zambian President Mr. Hakainde Hichilema is expected to officially commission the 100-megawatt Chisamba Solar Power Plant, located in the Central Province, today, Monday, June 30, 2025.
The project aligns with the President’s solar initiative to diversify the country’s energy sources, following the severe drought in 2024, which resulted in limited inflow into the Kariba Hydroelectric power dam.
Today’s commissioning marks a significant step forward in Zambia’s national energy agenda as the country continues to diversify its energy mix and strengthen its shift towards clean, reliable, and sustainable power generation.
“The commissioning of the Chisamba Solar Plant demonstrates the government’s unwavering commitment to promoting renewable energy and enhancing energy security for all Zambians.
“The plant will support economic growth through improved power availability,” said Makozo Chikote, Minister for Energy, in a statement.
He concluded that he looks forward to this historic occasion and the positive impact it will have on the country’s energy landscape.
