Zambia and Zimbabwe have pledged $440 million towards the $4.2 billion Batoka Gorge Hydropower Station project, aimed at enhancing energy security in Southern Africa. This initiative is part of efforts to create an integrated power market through new cross-border transmission lines, with a potential output of 2,400 megawatts. Supported by major financial institutions, the project includes ongoing engineering and environmental studies and is linked to broader regional power initiatives.
