The groundbreaking ceremony of the Kabwe 100 MW Solar Photovoltaic Project, Zambia.
The Kabwe 100MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project, undertaken by POWERCHINA, broke ground in Zambia on Feb 1. Officials and representatives from Zambia and POWERCHINA attended the ceremony.
The Kabwe Solar PV Project was signed during Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema's visit to China on Sept 14, 2023. The main construction work includes 100 MW photovoltaic installations, a 330 kV booster station, and the construction of transmission lines.
Once completed, this will be Zambia's largest solar power plant. The project will significantly improve the power supply in the central region of Zambia, supporting its industry, agriculture, and mining sectors. It will also address regional and seasonal contradictions in power supply and demand, ensure power supply security, and promote the development and improvement of local infrastructure.
