On June 30th, the 100 MW Kabwe Photovoltaic Power Station project in Zambia's Central Province, constructed by China Electric Power Construction Group Co., Ltd., held a grid connection ceremony for power generation. Zambian President Hicklema attended the ceremony and stated that the project will significantly enhance the country's energy security capabilities, demonstrating that cooperation between the two countries is expanding into broader areas.

Project supports Zambia's energy transition and economic development

President Hicklema emphasized that the operation of the photovoltaic power station has strategic significance for Zambia to address climate change, promote economic transformation, and achieve energy structure diversification. Wang Li, Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Zambia, pointed out that energy cooperation has become an important pillar of bilateral relations between China and Zambia, and China will continue to support Zambia in achieving its clean energy development goals.

Significant project technical parameters and economic and social benefits

According to project manager Yang Zhanwei, the power station is located in the Central Province of Zambia and is expected to generate 180 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually, which can meet the electricity needs of about 150000 households and effectively alleviate about 30% of the local electricity gap. The project will provide stable power supply for the upgrading of Zambia's mining industry and modernization of agriculture, injecting new vitality into regional economic development.

Chinese enterprises demonstrate their professional strength and social responsibility

China Electric Power Construction Group Co., Ltd. has fully demonstrated its professional technical and project management capabilities in the project construction. This project is not only the largest single photovoltaic project currently installed in Zambia, but also a demonstration project for China Africa energy cooperation, making positive contributions to promoting green and low-carbon development in Africa.
