SkyPower Global与赞比亚国有电力供应公司（ZESCO）签署了1 GW的发电购买协议。这家加拿大太阳能开发商表示，赞比亚Green Giant项目将为大约400万户家庭供电，创造就业机会，并支持基础设施发展。
“赞比亚Green Giant计划是朝着可持续发展的未来迈出的重要一步，”天空电力公司国家经理兼特别顾问Michael Prest说，“通过利用尖端的太阳能技术和我们的集体专业知识，我们将极大地改变赞比亚的能源格局，使其成为全球可再生能源发展的典范。”
购电协议被誉为赞比亚综合可再生能源计划的关键组成部分，该计划旨在开发包括太阳能、风能和水力发电在内的可再生能源。赞比亚总统Hakainde Hichilema表示，这项协议是该计划的关键组成部分，特别是考虑到目前由于气候变化而造成的干旱问题。
Hichilema表示：“这一举措旨在大幅提高我们的可再生能源产能，以满足当前和未来的能源需求，因为赞比亚的目标是提高工业生产率，实现我们每年铜产量超过300万吨的愿望。”
根据国际可再生能源署（IRENA）的数据，截至2023年底，赞比亚的太阳能装机容量为124 MW。今年2月，ZESCO开启了7.5 MW太阳能发电厂的工程、采购和施工招标。
