Zambia plans to complete 200 MW marine solar kit target

   It is reported that Zambia is seeking suggestions from potential marine solar kit project developers, with a total capacity of 200 MW.

   Energy Minister Matthew Nkhuwa said in an investment conference that 200 megawatts marine solar kit will be divided into small marine solar kit projects, each with a maximum size of 20 megawatts marine solar kit.

    Zambia relies heavily on hydropower and faces a power shortage after the drought in 2016, forcing Africa's second-largest copper producer to distribute its mines.The head of Enel Green Power Africa, Asia and Oceania said that at the same meeting, Reuters was told that African countries should invest in solar panel and battery kit technologies other than water.

   It is understood that Enel Green Power has begun to build five wind power projects in South Africa, which will increase 700 megawatts of electricity for its production in the next few years.
