Zambia’s energy sector has traditionally drawn power from its abundant hydropower resources, which supply up to 90% of the country’s electricity. This reliance once enabled power exports to neighbouring countries and supported economic growth.
Hybrid power: On the basis of 5G power platform, solar power is smoothly introduced. In areas with good grid, the solutions upgrade smoothly among grid, solar hybrid and pure solar power to achieve low-carbon and zero-carbon.
However, growing climate variability has highlighted the need to diversify the energy mix to ensure long-term reliability and resilience. In response, Zambia is ramping up investment in solar and other renewables, aiming for at least 30% of its energy to come from non-hydro sources by 2030.
