ZESCO will soon start supplying electricity to the Mozambican border town of Zumbo from its thermal power station in Luangwa district.
Luangwa District Commissioner, Captain Stanslous Kalunga told ZANIS in an interview that following a series of meetings, an agreement has since been reached for ZESCO to export power to Zumbo which is located about eight kilometers from Luangwa Boma across the Zambezi river.
He said works have since began to put in place the necessary infrastructure for the deal to come into effect.
Capt. Kalunga said though thermal, ZESCO Luangwa power station is currently underutilized hence the decision to accept the request from Zumbo to supply them power.
He said Luangwa district as a whole stands to benefit from the deal through enhanced revenue and reinvestment into the power plant.

Foolish!!!!!!! What kind of thinking is this. How does ZESCO managemnet decide to supply power to Namibia instead of working towards adequately servicing of power deficit parts of Zambia? Aha foolishness!!!!!!!!!!!!
This country never ceases to amaze me.
Really??????I find this totally ridiculous.How can you start servicing another country when your own peple complain about load shedding and all that crap.
Crazy, crazy, crazy. You are failing to cater for the whole country efficiently and now you want to sell the little power you have?? Are you guys crazy????
