Maamba Solar Energy Limited (MSEL) has injected electricity into Zambia’s national grid for the first time, marking the start of commissioning of its 100 MWac Maamba Solar PV Project in Sinazongwe District, Southern Province.
The first power injection on 24 September 2026 marks a major milestone for the approximately US$90 million project, which is being developed by MSEL, a joint venture in which ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) holds a 35 percent equity stake, with Nava Global PTE Limited holding the remaining 65 percent.
Commenting on the milestone ZCCM-IH Chief Executive Officer Kakenenwa Muyangwa said the first power injection came at an important time for Zambia, given the potential pressure that El Niño conditions could place on hydropower generation.
He said the additional 100 MW of solar capacity would contribute to energy security while helping diversify Zambia’s generation mix and reduce reliance on a single source of electricity.
Mr Muyangwa added that ZCCM-IH’s investment in MSEL reflected its commitment to strategic energy projects capable of supporting economic growth and Zambia’s ambition of reaching 10,000 MW of electricity generation capacity
The project’s output has been contracted to ZESCO Limited under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement and is expected to contribute to Zambia’s energy security by adding renewable power to the national grid and supporting the diversification of the country’s energy mix
Lusaka, 25 September 2026 – ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc is pleased to announce that the 100
MWac Maamba Solar PV Project, developed by Maamba Solar Energy Limited (MSEL), has entered its
commissioning phase, with electricity injected into the national grid for the first time on 24 September

The Board of Directors of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) has reviewed progress on key operations and development projects at CNMC Luanshya Copper Mines (CNMC Luanshya), an investee company in which ZCCM-IH holds a 20% equity interest.
The Board also underscored the importance of strengthening local content so that growth in Zambia’s mining sector delivers lasting value for the Company’s shareholders and tangible economic opportunities for Zambians. The visit, held on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, formed part of the Board’s Copperbelt investment tour and its ongoing oversight of ZCCM-IH’s investment portfolio.
The tour is focused on assessing operational performance, monitoring the delivery of strategic projects and identifying opportunities to enhance value creation. Led by ZCCM-IH Board Chairperson Mr Phesto Musonda, the Board engaged the management of CNMC Luanshya, led by Chairman Mr Jiang Lei, on the mine’s FY2025 and H1 2026 performance.
Discussions covered operational and financial performance, exploration, human resources, health and safety, key challenges and the actions planned to address them. The Board toured key operations and development projects, including Shaft 28, where dewatering has been completed and underground clearing and construction works are under way, and the new mine site at Shaft 28, where it assessed progress on development works. The tour also covered the Mashiba Ramp construction, Muliashi Open Pit backfilling, vent shafts and winders, giving the Board first-hand insight into the mine’s operational and development activities.
Mr Musonda emphasised that increased investment and production in the mining sector must translate into tangible economic opportunities for Zambians. He said, “Growth must have a real trickle-down effect. Our investments must create opportunities for Zambian businesses, develop local skills, create jobs and strengthen communities.” He reaffirmed ZCCM-IH’s commitment to supporting the Zambia Growth Vision of 10-10-5-3-3 1-1-1, noting that the Company has an important role to play in the next phase of Zambia’s mining growth and economic development. Commenting on the visit, ZCCM-IH Chief Executive Officer Mr Kakenenwa Muyangwa said, “As an active shareholder, our role is to stay close to the assets that drive value for our shareholders.
At Luanshya, the Board has seen tangible progress on projects such as Shaft 28 that are important to the mine’s long-term production. We will continue to work closely with CNMC Luanshya management to ensure these projects are delivered efficiently and translate into sustainable returns.
Local content is central to that value proposition. A stronger Zambian supply chain and a skilled local workforce make our operations more resilient and more competitive over the long term.” The visit comes as ZCCM-IH advances growth across its portfolio, including increased copper and energy production, while strengthening the performance and long-term value of its investments.
Through the broader Copperbelt investment tour, the Board is engaging investee companies, reviewing performance, monitoring strategic projects and strengthening oversight across the portfolio. The engagements have resulted in agreed follow-up actions on key operational and strategic matters, and the Board will continue to monitor progress through further engagements with investee companies. ZCCM-IH remains focused on active stewardship of its investments to support sustainable returns for shareholders, increased local participation and lasting benefits for the people of Zambia.

On 3rd June 2026 ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc launched a support programme to four charity organisations: Livingstone Day Cheshire Homes (deals with differently abled children in Livingstone), Moses Charity (deals with orphans in Magoye), Steps for Good Works Foundation (deals with the old-aged persons in Kabwe) and Ndola Vocational Training Centre (deals with vulnerable groups in society).
The launch took place at Cheshire Homes in Livingstone where we donated wheelchairs, school uniforms, shoes, clothing, educational materials, building supplies, broiler chicks, and other essential items.
Our Board Chairperson, Mr. Phesto Musonda, was clear about the intent behind the gesture: This is not a charity handout. It is a strategic investment in people and institutions that are doing the hard work of building resilient communities with limited resources, but with unlimited commitment. We are here as partners, not donors. Sister Clare Cecilia Banda, Head of Livingstone Day Cheshire Homes, expressed what the donation meant to those in her care: This is more than material support. It is a message of hope, dignity, encouragement, and love for children living with disabilities. It brings renewed strength to our caregivers and comfort to every child in this home.
The structured Community Support Programme provides support to the four organisations serving over 600 direct beneficiaries.
These initiatives form part of the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme aimed at uplifting vulnerable members of society through strategic partnerships and community-driven interventions.
