The construction and operation of an independent 34MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant under the World Bank Group's Scaling Solar programme, located in the Lusaka industrial zone, Zambia
Investment in solar energy will help reduce power outages and meet the rapid demand growth with lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than fossil-fuel-based alternatives, thereby supporting the sustainable economic development of Zambia. The project contributes to EU renewable energy and environmental policies (particularly climate change policies) and several Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 7, affordable and clean energy.
The project is expected to have limited environmental and social impact during construction and operation. The Bank will review the impact assessments and corresponding authorisation processes during appraisal, including a verification of compliance with the Bank's environmental and social standards.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that any procurement procedures are done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
