Zambia and the DRC Advance a US$300 Million Electricity Interconnector

Reporting published on 23 October described progress on the US$300 million Kalumbila–Kolwezi electricity interconnector linking Zambia with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The approximately 190-kilometre project is designed for 700 MW of transmission capacity, with potential future expansion beyond 1 GW. The investment agreement was signed on 6 October, so the latest report covers progress rather than a newly signed deal during the reporting week. Energy developers, transmission operators and engineering firms can explore opportunities in grid monitoring, infrastructure planning and electricity-trading analytics.
