Zambia to Host Energy Investment Forum

Zambia has announced it will host the Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum (CIF) from February 2nd to 5th.

“We currently have over 10,000 megawatts of power projects seeking financing,” said Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) Director General, Albert Halwampa.

He emphasised that the forum is focused on delivering tangible deals and transactions, particularly in the energy sector, where several power purchase agreements are already in place and only require financial closure.

“The forum provides a timely opportunity to connect independent power producers with financiers, including the Development Bank of South Africa, to unlock financial closure,” Halwampa said.

This is the first time this conference is held outside South Africa.

The Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum (CEIIF) serves as a premier platform that brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to explore and catalyse opportunities within Africa’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
