Zambia relies primarily on rain-fed hydropower generation for its consumption, which makes it vulnerable to changes in weather patterns. Zambia currently generates 2,800 megawatts (MW) of electricity, 85% of which is from hydroelectric source, while the rest is from fossil fuel and other sources.
Zambia’s main hydroelectric power facilities are the Kariba North Bank Power Station (1,080 MW), Kafue Gorge Power Station (980MW), Kafue Gorge Lower Power Station (750 MW), Victoria Falls Power Station (108 MW), Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Station (56 MW), and the Itezhi Tezhi Hydro Power Station (120 MW).
Although the power sector in Zambia is dominated by the state-owned utility ZESCO,\ there are pockets of private sector activity in generation, transmission, and distribution. The sector is opening up to new IPPs for on-grid and off-grid transactions.
Zambia’s installed solar capacity is 89 MW. Zambia has two utility scale solar power plants: French company, Neoen, and U.S. company, First Solar, own and operate the 47.5 MW Bangweulu Solar Power Station in Lusaka, of which the Zambian government holds a 20 percent stake through its Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).
