Zambia’s power supply company, Zesco Limited’s Board of Directors, has visited some critical electricity installations in Ndola.
The Board and executive leadership team toured the Skyways Substation, Elsewedy, Ndola Energy, and Monkey Fountain—the recreation and sports facility for the ZESCO United Football Club currently under development.
The Board learned about the criticality of the 66/33/11kV Skyways Substation, a shared resource between ZESCO and CEC and a hub of electricity supply on the Copperbelt.
The ZESCO team also paid a courtesy call on Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Mr. Lawrence Mwanza, who echoed the importance of ZESCO to the Copperbelt Province, the country’s mining engine.
Mr. Banda commended ZESCO for its efforts in promoting diversification of its energy mix amid climate-induced electricity insufficiency.
He lamented the high levels of vandalism on the Copperbelt, adding that this vice is detrimental and retrogressive to the Corporation, and implored ZESCO to intensify its engagements with civic leaders as part of mitigation measures and anti-vandalism sensitization campaigns.
The Board was accompanied by Chief Operating Officer Eng. Peter Chamfya, Director of Corporate Support Services Ms. Chama Nsabika, Director of Transmission, Operations, and Trade Eng. Lioko Sitali, and Deputy Director of Treasury and Investment Mr. Garry Monga.
Also present were hosts Divisional Manager for North Eng. Kennedy Muchanga and Senior Regional Manager for the Ndola Region Eng. Simon Nyirongo.
