The African Development Bank Group has celebrated the success of Zambia in eliminating frequent power outages, which used to be a regular feature of the southern African country.
?Using its verified Twitter account @AfDB_Group, the bank tweeted on Saturday: Power cuts are now a thing of the past in #Zambia! A major boost in electricity production - thanks to a robust hydraulic and solar power generation industry - means the country is now self-sufficient in energy.
The bank shared a previous piece breaking down how Zambia overcame its constant power cuts, largely due to a robust hydraulic and solar power generation industry in recent years.
