Kiyona Energy CEO Champions Sustainable Solar Solutions for Healthcare
LUSAKA, 25 June 2026 – Kiyona Energy Limited Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Clement Siame, has reaffirmed the company's commitment to delivering innovative energy solutions that improve healthcare services and create lasting value for communities across Zambia.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the UNDP-convened session of the Energy Infrastructure Leadership Forum Zambia 2026 held at Government Complex in Lusaka, Eng. Siame shared practical insights from the field as he represented "The Implementer Perspective" on a panel themed "From Grants to Green: Bankable Solar for Healthcare."
During the discussion, Eng. Siame highlighted Kiyona Energy's work in supporting the installation of solar energy systems at health facilities across the country. He explained that these systems are being designed with surplus generation capacity, allowing excess electricity to create revenue-generating opportunities that can support the long-term operation, maintenance, and sustainability of the facilities.
"At Kiyona Energy, we are facilitating the installation of surplus-capacity solar energy systems at health facilities throughout the country. The excess power generated creates opportunities for revenue generation, helping to ensure these systems remain operational and sustainable for years to come," said Eng. Siame.
The panel explored how Zambia can build on existing health-sector grants, including those supporting the UNDP Smart Health Systems Project, to develop a modern, digitalized, and utility-integrated energy portfolio that can attract long-term financing from local financial institutions.
Opening the session, UNDP Resident Representative for Zambia, Dr. James Wakiaga, emphasized the importance of expanding access to reliable energy and digital connectivity in the health sector. He noted that the initiative aims to deploy solar energy solutions and internet access to health facilities across the country, including those in some of Zambia's most remote communities.
The discussion highlighted the growing collaboration between development partners, government, financiers, and private-sector implementers in strengthening healthcare infrastructure through clean energy solutions.
As Zambia continues its transition towards a greener and more resilient energy future, Kiyona Energy Limited remains at the forefront of delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that improve lives, strengthen essential services, and advance the country's energy security goals.
