The Nalolo 300MW Solar PV Power Project seeks to develop a solar power plant with an installed capacity of 393 MWp, spanning 600 hectares in Zambia's Western Province.
Due to power evacuation constraints, the Nalolo Solar PV Power Project will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 will feature a capacity of 235 MWp, projected to generate 450 GWh annually with a plant factor of 29%. The project is designed to contribute 410 GWh to the grid each year, significantly enhancing Zambia's renewable energy capacity. The company holds a 20% equity stake in the project.
Dossier
Preliminary solar energy assessments at the Nalolo site reveal a generation potential of 5-6 kWh/m² per day. This large-scale project is designed to address Zambia's increasing power demand sustainably while advancing the nation’s clean energy transition. The Nalolo Solar PV Power Plant is set to play a pivotal role in strengthening Zambia’s renewable energy infrastructure and ensuring long-term energy security.
Tenement
The offer encompasses three distinct studies:
Technical-Economic Feasibility Study – To be submitted for approval to the Minister of Energy (excluding the coal resource assessment).
Grid Integration Study – To be submitted for approval to ZESCO Limited.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study – To be submitted for approval to ZEMA.
