ZESCO’s Mansa 50MW Solar Project, set to partially supply 14MW in December and reach full capacity by March–April, aims to stabilize electricity in Luapula Province and reduce load shedding. While emphasizing continued investment in hydro power, ZESCO highlighted the solar plant’s role in diversifying energy sources, creating over 300 jobs, and boosting local business. Lessons from this project will guide future solar initiatives, with transmission infrastructure prioritized to avoid delays.
