Zambia Determined to Build a Stronger Grid for a Diverse Energy Mix

Zambia's electricity subsector is undergoing a significant transformation. With the demonopolization of the market and ZESCO Limited, private sector players are now contributing to the country's energy security.

Driven by the urgency to address the 2024 drought-induced hydroelectricity generation deficit and a growing economy thirsty for electricity, President Hakainde Hichilema's government has introduced strategic reforms in the sector to attract investments and spur economic growth.

“Our government continues to undertake a number of energy reforms aimed at attracting investments in the sector as well as improving the livelihoods of our people,” he said during the official opening of the 2025 Energy Forum for Africa Conference.

And delivering his keynote address on Strengthening Utility Performance: ZESCO’s Journey Toward Efficiency and Financial Resilience, Eng. Justin Loongo, Managing Director of ZESCO, outlined the utility's ambitious program to reinforce its transmission network, a critical enabler of efficiency and regional integration.

"We're integrating Independent Power Producers and enhancing evacuation capacity through projects like the 330kV Muzuma-Kafue West line and new transformers at Kabwe Step Down substation," he said.

Zambia is taking bold strides towards a diversified energy future, with solar energy leading the charge. "We're proud to report that the 100 megawatts Chisamba and 25 megawatts Mailo Solar PV plants are operational," Eng. Loongo said. "We're also preparing sites for an additional 200 megawatts of solar power in Chisamba Phase II and Chipata West."

The approval of the Net Metering framework in 2024 has opened opportunities for autonomous renewable energy generation. "The steady growth of solar rooftop and net metering - already at 11 megawatts - empowers Zambians to become active participants in our energy solutions," he added.

Learning from Zambia's Experience

Malawi's power utility, ESCOM, is taking note of Zambia's transformative steps to enhance its energy portfolio and consolidate energy security. "Zambia is ahead of us in terms of market regulations," says Kamukwamba Kumwenda, Chief Executive Officer at ESCOM.

"We're here to learn how our friends in Zambia have done it. In terms of our operations, by law, its only ESCOM which is mandated to transmit and distribute power in Malawi. Now am glad that regulators are here and are looking at the possibility of opening up the market so that distribution and transmission should be open to anybody who wants to do business with Malawi,” he said.

The three-day Energy Forum for Africa Conference has brought together industry leaders to discuss investment opportunities in the energy sector with this year's theme focusing on "Investment Opportunities in the Energy Sector in Zambia and Africa."

🧱 Step-by-Step Guide to Turning Animal Dung into Charcoal Briquettes

This method works not only with pig dung, but also with cow dung, goat, sheep, chicken, rabbit, horse, and donkey waste. These are all great sources for making charcoal briquettes.

Step 1: Collect and Dry the Dung
Start by gathering animal waste—pig, cow, goat, chicken, or any combination. Spread it out under the sun until it’s completely dry. Dry dung is easier to work with and burns better.

Step 2: Add Agricultural Waste
Mix the dried dung with things like sawdust, rice husks, maize stalks, or dry leaves. This helps the briquettes burn longer and cleaner. You don’t need to be exact—just aim for a good balance between dung and plant waste.

Step 3: Crush Everything
Use a grinder or crush the mix by hand until it becomes fine and powdery. The finer the mix, the better the briquettes will hold together and burn.

Step 4: Add a Binder
To make the mix stick together, add a binder. You can use cassava starch, flour, or even clay. Mix the binder with water to make a paste, then stir it into your crushed dung mixture.

Step 5: Mold the Briquettes
Shape the mixture into small blocks or balls. You can use your hands, a simple mold, or a press. Make sure to press them tightly so they don’t crumble.

Step 6: Dry the Briquettes
Lay them out in the sun for several days until they’re completely dry. If it rains, cover them with plastic or move them indoors. Dry briquettes burn better and last longer.

Step 7: Carbonize (Optional)
If you want charcoal briquettes, you’ll need to carbonize them. Place the dried briquettes in a metal drum with small air holes and burn them slowly with limited oxygen. This turns them into charcoal, which burns hotter and cleaner.

Step 8: Store or Sell
Once they’re ready, store them in a dry place. You can use them at home for cooking or heating, or sell them to neighbors, shops, or restaurants. People love them because they’re cheap, clean, and eco-friendly.

💡 Why This Is a Smart Move

- You’re turning waste into something useful.
- You save money on cooking fuel.
- You help reduce deforestation and pollution.
- You can start small—even without land or big money.
- You can earn extra income by selling briquettes.
