Zambia has initiated the first application window for a new results-based financing mechanism, according to a report by pv magazine. The Carbon Feed In Premium Program is aimed at large-scale solar installations that connect to the national grid.
The program is being administered by the country’s Ministry of Green Economy and Environment and Ministry of Energy. Eligible participants include both national and international independent power producers, as well as the national power utility and its subsidiaries.
This initial bidding phase seeks to procure 300 megawatts of new solar capacity. Eligible projects must have a planned installed capacity between 30 and 100 megawatts. Each project is required to incorporate an on-site battery energy storage system with a minimum capacity duration.
All power generated by supported projects must be sold to the national utility under a power purchase agreement. An online information session for the program is scheduled for mid-April. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest is the end of May.
Funding for the initiative is provided through a bilateral agreement, with payments for verified emissions reductions from the projects. Industry data indicates there is already a significant amount of operational solar capacity in the country across numerous projects.
Recent developments in the Zambian solar sector include the completion of a 100-megawatt solar farm, which is currently the nation’s largest. Plans exist to expand that site, and construction is progressing on another separate 100-megawatt solar project in a different region.
