RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR THE LUSAKA TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION REHABILITATION PROJECT
Recent studies on the linkages between energy access and employment and poverty reduction in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, South Sudan, and a sub-regional study in Southern Africa strongly suggest that increasing energy access is a necessary precondition for growth and employment1
While Zambia was not specifically included in these studies, the similarity of its economic performance and energy access situation to other African countries suggests that the above findings could also apply to Zambia. The proposed project will facilitate access to reliable electricity and will foster growth and employment in project target areas.
ZESCO has four operational divisions (Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Southern), and the transmission/ distribution infrastructure in all four divisions needs to be strengthen. However, Lusaka is given priority due to the fact that the majority of industrial, commercial, and household customers of ZESCO are located in this division, and the load growth in Lusaka is higher than other ZESCO divisions. Additional funds from KfW will take care of the investments needs to strengthen the transmission and distribution infrastructure in the other ZESCO divisions in a second phase.
The proposed project will reinforce and upgrade the power transmission and distribution infrastructure in Lusaka area as a priority to increase the capacity and improve the reliability of the electricity network for all consumers throughout the area. This will improve the quality of electricity supply to existing customers and facilitate connection of new customers. Read more...

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED LUSAKA 132KV TRANSMISSION RING REINFORCEMENT PROJECT
With the view of improving the transmission and distribution infrastructure throughout ZESCO‟s four divisions namely; Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Southern, ZESCO proposes to undertake an electricity transmission and distribution system rehabilitation program. These rehabilitation works will be implemented through the Zambia Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project (TDRP). Of critical importance is addressing the rehabilitation needs of Lusaka, considering that 40% of the non-mining loads are concentrated in this area. In recent years, Lusaka has been experiencing load shedding because the demand for power has outstripped the supply. This increase in demand is due to an increase in economic activities in various sectors such as mining, agriculture, tourism and domestic use. This increase in economic activities has resulted into a corresponding and indeed overwhelming increase in demand for electricity services, which has ultimately put a strain on the existing electricity supply capacity in these areas.
