Description: Economic growth is synonymous with energy access and the ability of a country to meet its wider social development objectives is largely affected by access to reliable energy. Zambia currently has been experiencing power deficits due to energy demand, which has outweighed supply. The development of new power projects in the country has been hampered by low electricity tariffs as well as the absence of a defined feed-intariff mechanism to promote renewable energy technologies (RET’s).
