ZESCO Spokesperson Matongo Maumbi says the entire Northwestern Province qualifies for a standard electricity connection of infrastructure at a rate of K300 through subsidized connections targeting 23,000 connections across the country.
Mr Maumbi says the government secured some funds to pay for the difference of over 4, 00 Kwacha that clients may be serving for connection.
Mr Mumbi was speaking at a media breakfast meeting in Solwezi. Mr Maumbi said there has been a challenge of connection fee hence the government came up with the initiative to increase access to Electricity for everyone.
He stressed that he is in the Province to sensitise the people on the subsidised electricity connection.Mr Maumbi clarified that the subsidised electricity connection runs from 2025 to 2027.

This is politics, why now after crying for a long time only to subsidize electricity connection towards the election Year.
This is not adding up.
Towards elections most people will be hood winked especially after 4 years of a dismal performance
You have to find the money first…We are servicing a huge debt that that was gotten by pf in the pretext of improving the very facilities that generate power and even alternative sources.The money went in their pockets leaving the country bankrupt.Its happening now, one step at a time
Zambians forgets easily, they will forget about the past, load shedding etc.Not only electricity wait you will see, politicians are very clever.
You just wanted electricity without proper planning and working on it?You can do better than that.By the don’t forget that you did not have rain 2023/2024
@Gambino you say in your comments: “after 4 years of a dismal performance”
Please give us examples of example of the dismal performances you are referring to, because all I can see is an abundance of success.
Now let’s install electricity at a price of 300k, where is the electricity itself, 2 hours after turning it on they cut it off
