This financing, notable for not relying on public guarantees, aims to diversify Zambia's energy mix and enhance supply security by increasing solar capacity. The project will operate under a merchant power purchase agreement with GreenCo Power Services Ltd., supported by a consortium including the Dutch development bank FMO and other investment firms.
