Zambia''s iconic Victoria Falls roaring with hydropower potential, while solar panels bake under the African sun. But here''s the kicker—Zambia isn''t just playing catch-up.
As we approach Q3 2025, Zambia''s energy landscape is evolving rapidly. The government''s new 30-30-30 plan (30% storage integration, 30% renewable share, 30% cost reduction by 2030)

For German and European service providers active in the energy sector, Zambia presents significant potential for business development. There are clear needs across the solar energy and storage value chain, including pro-ject development and financing, equipment manufacturing, system inte-gration and contracting.
The Zambian government has set a target to increase its installed solar and wind capacity to 600 MW by 2030. However, the current installed capacity for solar photovoltaics is only 90 MWp, indicating significant underutilisation of Zambia's potential in the renewable energy sector.
Private companies also trade in electricity in Zambia. The largest of these, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (CEC), buys electricity primarily from ZESCO and sells it to the various mines in the Copperbelt Province. It also operates its own generators, most of which run on fossil fuels.
The government anticipates that peak demand will be at 8,000 MW by 2030 and 10,000 MW by 2040 (from around 3,000 MW in 2022). It also projects that the demand will be largely driven by mining and agricultural consumers and not residential consumers as projected in the COSS (Government of Zambia, 2022). 4. Zambia's renewable energy landscape
The manufacturing sector accounts for nearly 8% of the GDP. It has been consistently growing due to sustained investments in the sector and a general improvement in the business environment. The 2020 Labour Force Survey states that the manufacturing sector accounts for 27% of formal employment in Zambia.
