Zambia

Lighting Global is supporting the World Bank’s Electricity Service Access Project in Zambia. The goal of this project is to increase electricity access in Zambia’s targeted rural areas. One component of this project is the off-grid electricity access expansion. This component will initially fund required upstream activities to enable the private sector participation in rural off-grid electrification, including identifying and scoping off-grid sites, helping the GRZ address the existing regulatory impediments, building the needed capacity at key institutions, and designing financial mechanisms.
