Background
In December 2025, Amsons Group, a Tanzanian industrial conglomerate, and the Zambian energy firm Exergy Africa announced a partnership agreement to build a 300 MW coal-fired power station in Zambia. 1 GW of solar capacity was also included in the agreement. US$300 million was reportedly expected to be allocated to the coal power project, which was slated to be completed within two years. Reporting on the announcement did not mention the location of the proposed coal plant within Zambia.[2][3][4]
Financing
In December 2025, Amsons Group and Exergy Africa announced a strategic partnership to develop 1,300 MW of power generation capacity in Zambia, including 1,000 MW of solar and 300 MW of coal-fired capacity, with a combined investment of US$900 million.[5] Reporting indicated that US$300 million was expected to be allocated to the coal project.[6] As of June 2026, no financial close, lender group, debt/equity split, PPA, EPC contract, or named financing institution had been identified.
