LS-MFEZ solar photovoltaic power plant project, Zambia
Name of the Project
LS-MFEZ solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant project.
Location
The proposed power plant will be built at the Lusaka South multifacility economic zone (LS-MFEZ), in Zambia.
Client
Bangweulu Power Company, a special-purpose vehicle incorporated in Zambia. The company is 55% owned by Neoen, 25% by First Solar, both of which are investing through Zambian Sunlight One, and 20% by IDC.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a 55 MW solar PV power plant.
The plant, covering a maximum footprint area of about 52 ha, will require about 460 000 thin film modules from First Solar and 12 transformers. The proposed PV system will be connected to the grid and the electrical energy will be evacuated through the Lusaka South MFEZ substation using a 33 kV underground cable. The substation and underground cable will be financed, implemented and commissioned by the company, and then handed over to Zesco.
