RENPOWER2025

This morning, ZARENA was in the forefront moderating a session on Solar Surge & Clean Energy Horizons – Advancing 1,000 MW of Solar while Exploring Wind and Green Hydrogen.

We believe Zambia’s green hydrogen and wind ambitions, along with its strategic natural assets, are critical in supporting the country’s journey toward achieving the 1,000 MW solar target.

During the panel discussion, key highlights included:

✅ The 48-hour solar project approval process, which is streamlining deployment and boosting investor confidence.
✅ The role of public-private partnerships in scaling both large-scale and distributed energy projects.
✅ Opportunities in floating solar, with Zambia’s theoretical potential reaching up to 254 GW.
✅ Lessons from the recently commissioned 100 MW, $100M PV project – a benchmark for future development.
✅ Zambia’s growing momentum in wind energy, including progress on the Chanka Wind Project.

ZARENA is proud to be part of these transformative conversations, advocating for an inclusive and climate-smart energy future.
