IDC is showcasing both its existing and pipeline projects in the energy sector, with a strong focus on diversifying Zambiaโs energy mix to help address the ongoing power deficit. Currently, IDC holds investments in two solar plants located in the Lusaka South Multi-Facility Economic Zone โ Bangweulu Power Company and Ngonye Power Company โ which together generate 88MWp.
In addition, IDC has advanced plans with its partner, Solarcentury, to develop a 67MWp solar plant in Chisamba, alongside several other pipeline projects aimed at strengthening Zambiaโs renewable energy landscape.
