Zambian developer GEI Power and Turkish energy technology firm YEO are aiming to have a 60MWp PV, 20MWh BESS project in Zambia online by September 2025. The project will require US$65 million of investment and will assist in mitigating power shortages in the country, the Ministry of Energy said. [pdf]
Global Price Drop: Lithium-ion costs fell to $98/kWh globally in 2024 [8], but Zambia’s logistics add 15-20% premiums—think of it as a “battery safari surcharge”. Policy Spark: New tax breaks for renewable projects (announced March 2025) could trim system costs by 8% [9]. [pdf]
GreenCo is funded by InfraCo Africa, IFU (Denmark), and EDFI ElectriFI, and is the first market participant member of the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). GreenCo is developing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS Pilot) that optimises energy use and redistributes energy during peak hours. [pdf]
The Megapacks will be installed at the Burchill Wind Farm, located about 15km southwest of Saint John. The project was officially commissioned in June 2023 and features 10 turbines providing 42 megawatts (MW) of power, enough to supply 15% of the city’s energy needs. [pdf]
