Abstract
Rural Electrification by Mujila Falls Lower Zambia Mini-hydropower station (hereafter referred to as the “Project” or “project activity”), located on Mujila River, a tributary to West Lunga river, involves the construction of a mini-hydropower plant with the total installed capacity of 1.4MW in the North Western Province of Zambia. Being developed and managed by ZESCO Ltd. (ZESCO), the largest utility company in Zamiba, the main objective of the Project is to distribute clean, renewable energy based electricity to rural communities without access to national/regional electricity grid, and to contribute to the sustainable development of Zambia which is recognised as a Least Developed Country (LDC).
