Temporary power generation services provider Aggreko announced on Thursday that it had appointed Dr Sixtus Mulenga as nonexecutive chairperson of Aggreko Zambia, a move it believed was integral to the ongoing expansion of its operations in Zambia and the rest of Africa.

Mulenga, a well-known figure in the Zambian mining industry and a distinguished academic, would provide independent leadership and council to the Aggreko Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) board on matters relating to the strategic direction and development of Aggreko’s business in Zambia.

“We are delighted that Dr Mulenga has joined the Aggreko Zambia team. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organisation and I am confident that he will play a key role in seeing us continue the already impressive expansion of Aggreko across Africa, particularly in the utilities and mining sectors,” said Aggreko EMEA regional MD David Taylor-Smith.

Mulenga, who holds numerous degrees, had published various academic papers in the field of mining geology and sustainability.

Over his 35-year career, he had served in senior management positions with numerous mining companies and had undertaken leadership roles with various nongovernmental and charitable organisations.

Aggreko said in a statement that Mulenga’s contribution to the development of the Zambian mining sector had been significant, and that he devoted significant time and energy to support the wider development of Zambian society.

“I’m truly excited to be joining Aggreko, the global leader in the field of fast-track, mobile energy provision. As Zambia works to further develop its mining industry, along with the capacity and coverage of its electricity grid, Aggreko can play a key role in supporting these initiatives, while also supporting a growing and diversified industrial sector,” said Mulenga.
