Globeleq, one of Africa’s leading independent power producers, has reached financial close on the Kafue Solar Project, a 40 MWac (56 MWp) solar photovoltaic power plant near Kafue Town, Lusaka Province, Zambia. The project was awarded through the GET FiT Zambia Programme and will sell its power to ZESCO under a 25-year power purchase agreement. The project is expected to provide clean energy to 38,000 households, avoiding approximately 48,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and creating around 200 employment opportunities for local Zambians.
