Zambia signs 100 MW Hybrid Wind-Solar PPA to Diversify Energy Mix

Makozo Chikote has witnessed the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between DZGM Energy Resources and Zesco Limited for the development of a 100 MW hybrid wind and solar project.

The project, expected to be implemented within six months, aims to strengthen Zambia’s power generation capacity and improve supply reliability amid growing energy demand.

Speaking at the signing, Chikote emphasized the urgency of timely execution, highlighting the importance of expanding power generation to support economic growth and ensure stable electricity supply.

The initiative forms part of Zambia’s broader strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce reliance on hydropower, which has historically dominated the country’s electricity generation.

DZGM Energy Resources stated that the investment aligns with the government’s push to increase private sector participation in the energy sector, reaffirming its commitment to deliver the project in partnership with Zesco Limited.
