Looking to the future means planning for what we need as a country, in terms of energy and continuity of service provision. Continued rehabilitation and upgrading of various infrastructure will guarantee, constant supply, and reduced faults. ZESCO needs to plan for the upgrading, development and replacement of key infrastructure, the Planning and Projects Directorate champions this task.
