Lusaka, Zambia – On March 31, 2023, GreenCo Power Storage Limited officially signed a grant funding agreement with the United States Trade & Development Agency (USTDA) for a Battery Storage Feasibility Study. The signing ceremony took place at the GreenCo offices located at the United Church of Zambia Synod Building at 1:30Pm CAT and was attended by USTDA representatives and key government stakeholders.
As Zambia’s demand for electricity continues to increase, investing in renewable energy technologies such as battery storage systems is crucial to achieving the government’s target of expanding the country’s power generation capacity while minimizing the environmental impact of energy generation. The feasibility study is an important step towards developing sustainable energy solutions in Zambia.
The signing of this grant facility agreement marks an important milestone in the private sector development of battery electricity storage in Zambia. The project aims to support the sustainable integration of variable renewable electricity generation into the grid and, in its application to supplying customers with different consumption profiles and demand outside solar hours. This will effectively increase the utility value of solar generation and maximize the abundant solar resource Zambia is endowed with.
The signing ceremony coincides with USTDA’s delegation trip to Zambia, which is aligned with United States Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Zambia on the same day. At the press briefing, more details on the project and its expected impact on the energy sector in Zambia will be provided following the signing of the grant.
The Financial Insights of Zambia was established in 2017 as a follow up to the success of The Financial Health of Zambia''s Premier Companies blog which was birthed as an idea that would address the challenge Zambian investors had in understanding how companies within the economy created value. Armed with the annual reports of companies listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange, we bring business analysis and valuation of these premier companies.
Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have signed cooperating agreements to start manufacturing electric batteries.The agreement which includes the clean energy sector will explore minerals rich in both countries which are key raw materials in the manufacturing of electric car batteries.
President Hakainde Hichilema said that the signing of cooperation agreements between Zambia and the DRC to start manufacturing electric car batteries is key to poverty alleviation on the continent.
President Hichilema said that the agreement has removed shame from Africa which has been known as an exporter of raw materials.
He said that yesterday’s agreements prove that his attendance at a DRC economic forum was the right decision as it gave birth to yesterday’s event.
The President however said the signing is one thing and emphasized the need to actualize the agreement.
Mr Hichilema says Africa has for long been viewed as a source of raw materials but the narrative is now being changed.The President thanked the DRC government for staying the course and providing leadership over the initiative.
And DRC President Felix Tshisekedi said the two countries are home to at least 80 per cent of minerals required for the production of electric car batteries.
The DRC President said yesterday’s event was a good example for all African countries to unite and promote economic unity.
Mr Tshisekedi said Africa''s economic power will be advanced with such initiatives which will create jobs for many youths.
Manufacturing bacteries requires a lot of electricity I hope you will have it and I hope you wont just call China man or Indians to come set up shop then give you causal jobs whilst they retain the management jobs.
All eyes in Africa slowly pointing to Zambia. doom sayers on LT continue making noise,i enjoy reading your comments whilst taking my tea. Some doomer here will come & say but Congo has rebels & they ll start attacking Zambia. Well, we chinangwa we,why do you think we now ve an AFRICOM headquatered in Lusaka? From now on,we will go and invest anywhere we want – war or no war! From Dec after AFRICOM is set up me i want to open an in the Boko Haram region in Nigeria. Im not kidding.
But im just afraid that we may become the new Isreal of Africa-colonising other African countries wealth. We recently just officially acquired a stake in the new Angolan National Oil Refinery and the minister spoke of eyeing the new oil discovery in Namibia too. Now we want to milk Congo for its rich battery resources. Yes we are second on to DRC but i see Zambia coming no.1 in processing the same as most companies will prefer to build their companies in neighbouring Zambia than war torn Congo. So they ll transport the mineral from there by trucks & process pa Zed. Eventually making Zed more than richer & quikily than it shd ve been if we used internal capacities alone. But who am i to judge.
This is impossible for the resident LT PF rats to comprehend ……….
Who are waiting for news from nakachinda, lusambo and kapaya kaoma…………..
What are electric batteries.
Similar to the European Battery alliance, this initiative between ZAMBIA and DRC create Industries around the 17 critical earth metals for magnets and other steel alloys in economic zones is a very good to restructure the export terms for Zambia and DRC in the exports of RAW critical materials inputs into electric and storage and long duration storage power for new energy transition However there is more to be done these our Congolese colleagues are way ahead in terms of supply chains presence and partnership across the key competing areas of India China South Korea Euro and including the US and Canada Signing and committing to creating and industrial ecosystem in electric Batteries…
Its a Good Initiative but must require commitments and long-term like the elsweedy transformers between Zesco Zambia and Egypt Batteries are only also a component of Power End electrical mainly in storage The effort and event could have taken on other electrical coventurers and energy investments
Its good if you know Energy Transition and Investments
