Energy & Water
Looking forward, Zambia has a hydro potential of
approximately 6000 MW. Currently under 2000MW
has been developed. Investors have the opportu-
nity to partner with ZESCO in order to capitalize on
Zambia’s massive energy potential. There are other
sources of energy such as solar power, which can be
harnessed to help rural communities, which are far
away from ZESCO’s national grid, towards econom-
ic development. Due to the ever-increasing demand
for energy in Zambia, especially in rural areas, there
is a vital need for private investors to come in either
individually or in partnership with ZESCO.
“I hope to see ZESCO expand its influence beyond
the borders of Zambia and contribute greatly to the
improvement of many African lives”
Ernest Mupwaya
Managing Director
ZESCO has been true to its mission statement which
reads ‘We at ZESCO are committed to use technol-
ogy and innovation in the generation, transmission,
distribution and supply of safe, reliable quality and
competitively priced electricity for the sustainable
development of Zambia and beyond, thereby facili-
tating the creation of wealth and improving the qual-
ity of life for all.’
ZESCO Ltd is delivering on its promise of being an
engine of sustainable development, not only in Zam-
bia, but also for the region as a whole.
