Government Praises Climate-Smart Water and Solar Project in Kazungula

The government has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing water and solar energy project in Kazungula, highlighting its potential to transform the local community’s access to clean water and sustainable energy.

Speaking during his recent visit to the project site, Minister of Water Development and Sanitation, Collins Nzovu, lauded the initiative for its innovative approach to water generation, which also includes the integration of solar energy production. 

The plant is set to generate 200 kilowatts of solar power, with 50 kilowatts designated for operational use.

“We are impressed with the climate-smart water generation system that the water company has put in place,” Minister Nzovu stated.

 “This project not only addresses the immediate need for clean water but also contributes to our broader energy goals by incorporating solar energy generation.”

The Minister expressed his satisfaction with the contractor's progress and urged them to maintain close collaboration with the client to ensure the timely completion of the project. 

He reiterated the government's commitment to supporting such initiatives, which align with President Hakainde Hichilema's vision of improving access to clean water for all Zambians.

The Kazungula project, once completed, is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for residents by providing reliable access to clean water, a key component of the government's development agenda.

Minister Nzovu assured the contractor that they would be granted sufficient time to complete the project, emphasizing the importance of delivering a quality outcome that meets the needs of the community.

“This project is a testament to our commitment to innovative, sustainable solutions that benefit our people,” Nzovu added.

 “We look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on Kazungula and beyond.”

The government’s endorsement of the Kazungula project reflects its broader strategy to promote climate-smart initiatives and sustainable development across the country.
