President Edgar Lungu

President Edgar Lungu has today launched a 100 Mega Watts solar plant which is ready to supply power to the Lusaka Multi-Facility Economic Zone (MFEZ).

Speaking shortly before the launch, President Lungu says such efforts are aimed at mitigating the power crisis that has hit the country due to low water levels in Lake Kariba for power generation.

President Lungu says the launch of the plant illustrates government’s efforts in solving the energy challenges the country is currently facing.

He has assured the nation that his administration remains focused to achieve the long term development in the energy sector.

President Lungu has since thanked the International Financial Cooperation, World Bank and the US Government for the technical assistant towards the project saying it will go a long way in helping the people of Zambia.
