Technical FAQs 4

Will gei power be Zambia's first solar plant with battery storage?

Turkey’s YEO is partnering with Zambian sustainable energy company GEI Power to develop a 60 MW/20 MWh solar plant with battery storage in Choma district, southern Zambia. The facility has been touted as Zambia’s first solar plant with battery storage.

Why is solar power important for Zambia?

Solar power is important for Zambia because it provides a reliable alternative energy source to hydropower, which has become less dependable due to droughts. Additionally, the increasing electricity demand makes the growth of solar power of great value and significance beyond just the energy sector.

How much solar power does Zambia have?

Zambia's installed solar capacity stood at 124 MW at the end of 2023, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). In April, Canadian developer SkyPower Global signed a 1 GW power purchase agreement with state-owned utility Zambia Electricity Supply Corp.
