Zambia''s energy resources include electricity (hydropower), petroleum, coal, biomass and renewable energy. It is only petroleum which is wholly imported in the country. The Energy Sector in Zambia consists of three main sub-sectors namely: Electricity, Renewable Energy and Petroleum. ELECTRICITY SUB-SECTOR. The installed generation capacity
Zambia has five large power stations, of which four are hydroelectric and one is thermal.A fifth hydroelectric power plant is under construction at Itezhi-Tezhi Dam (120MW) along with a coal powered power station at Maamba (300MW) as of 2015. There are also a number of smaller hydroelectric stations, and eight towns not connected to the national power transmission grid
power plant. Small reservoirs are often operated as run-of-river (ROR) power plants, which have no or very little impact on the river discharge pattern in the downstream area. At the other end of the range are very large reservoirs with annual or even over-annual storage which can influence the seasonal flow distribution in the river, usually by

These facilities play a crucial role in modern power grids by storing electrical energy for later use. The guide covers the construction, operation, management, and functionalities of these power stations, including their contribution to grid stability, peak
Mini hydro power station. Construction of the power station dubbed the ''Kasanjiku project'' begun in 2016. It is located on the Kasanjiku River in Mwinilunga District in North Western Province and is set to improve the quality of life for beneficiaries in Chief Ntambu and Chief Sailunga''s area. Over 12,000 people are set to benefit.
In response to Zambia''s current situation of power shortages and urgent need for energy sources, continuous efforts should also be made in technological solutions such as micro-grid photovoltaic and energy storage, he said. China, as a leader in the green energy revolution, has become an important partner to Zambia and Africa''s energy transition.
On July 23, the government of Zambia celebrated commissioning of the first unit at the 750-MW Kafue Gorge Lower hydropower station. Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, gave an address on the occasion, which was attended by many dignitaries, including representatives of project owner Zambia Electricity Supply Corp.
The hydroelectric scheme on the Kafue River will eventually add 750 MW of power to Zambia''s national grid. The President of the Republic of Zambia Edgar Chagwa Lungu recently visited the Chinkankata district for the commissioning of the first unit of the Kafue Hydroelectric Power Plant.
