Zambia’s power utility company, ZESCO Limited, has unveiled an exciting promotion to encourage the adoption of renewable energy solutions among its customers.
Starting February 1, 2025, the power utility company would provide free net meter installations to 1,000 eligible customers.
The promotion, which includes a free net meter, administrative fee and installation charge, aims to promote the integration of renewable electricity into the national grid.
According to ZESCO Limited’s Acting Managing Director, Eng Justin Loongo, “This initiative empowers our customers to take control of their electricity. By embracing renewable energy self-generation, customers can enhance electricity reliability, reduce their carbon footprint and foster a sustainable energy future.”
The promotion is open to single-phase prepaid, three-phase prepaid and maximum demand post-paid customers with renewable energy solutions ranging from 5kVA to 5,000kVA (5MW).
Net metering offers numerous benefits, including savings on electricity bills and increased energy independence.

Net Metering Explained:
Net metering allows customers who generate their own electricity from renewable sources- such as solar-to feed excess electricity back into the national grid.
When a customer generates more electricity than they use, the surplus is sent to the ZESCO grid, and they receive credits that can offset future electricity bills.
Net Metering enables customers to reduce their overall energy costs while contributing to a sustainable electricity future for Zambia.
