This year’s C&I Energy+Storage Summit Zambia (http://apo-opa.co/4ooxzen) isn’t just about big-picture insights — it’s where the region’s most ambitious energy professionals roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Across two days of immersive, expert-led masterclasses, attendees will gain hands-on knowledge and real-world guidance on some of the most pressing topics shaping Zambia’s commercial and industrial (C&I) energy landscape. From decoding power purchase agreements (PPAs) to navigating battery storage integration and unpacking Zambia’s tariff structures, these tailored sessions are designed to equip businesses with the tools to accelerate their clean energy transitions.
Gain practical knowledge from technical experts, regulators and market leaders through interactive deep-dive sessions. Highlights include:
- Corporate PPAs – Explore how Power Purchase Agreements can unlock clean energy for businesses without upfront capital. Learn about contractual structures, bankability and how PPAs support energy security and attract private sector investment.
- Battery Energy Storage for C&I – Understand the fundamentals of battery technologies, how to size, integrate and manage storage systems for C&I use — from safety to inverter compatibility.
- Grid Capacity & Open Access – Tackle grid constraints and discover strategies for strengthening infrastructure within Zambia’s Open Access framework. Sessions will cover investment signals, unbundled tariffs and energy demand forecasting.
- Unlock solar and storage for C&I – A practical guide to selecting and implementing solar and storage solutions. Gain insights into regulatory standards, ROI analysis and how to ensure long-term performance and operational efficiency.
- Solar PV Safety & Asset Management – Learn best practices for protecting your solar investment. Topics include HSE standards, preventative maintenance, insurance, battery recycling, and managing PV systems at end-of-life.
