Zambia is looking to diversify its sources of energy.
The Ngonye plant, which is the Enel Group's first in the country, is set to generate 70 gigawatt hours every year when fully operational.
The Ngonye plant, which is the Enel Group's first in the country, is set to generate 70 gigawatt hours every year once fully operational. Enel claimed this would help to prevent more than 25,600 tons of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere each year. When it comes to renewables, Zambia is heavily reliant on hydropower, which generated 11,025 GWh in 2016, according to the International Energy Agency.
"Through this project we are boosting the government's ambitious push to improve access to electricity throughout the country, while diversifying its generation mix to hedge against severe drought and climate change effects," Antonio Cammisecra, the head of Enel Green Power, said in a statement Monday.
