Lusaka: The Hosted Buyer Programme, a distinguished initiative scheduled for August 27-28 at The Pamodzi Hotel in Lusaka, extends an invitation to Zambia's leading private-sector energy users. This exclusive programme is meticulously crafted to connect large energy consumers with necessary technology, financing, and partnerships to secure reliable and clean power. It serves as a significant platform for strategic engagement among businesses, government entities, and solution providers.
According to African Press Organization, the Hosted Buyer Programme is a premium, complimentary opportunity targeting commercial and industrial organisations in Zambia interested in achieving energy independence. The programme facilitates introductions to leading financiers and project developers eager to collaborate on viable energy solutions. It also offers a 10% discount for additional team members, enhancing company-wide learning and engagement.
The initiative is particularly beneficial for large energy-using businesses in sectors such as manufacturing, mining, agriculture, retail, and logistics, as well as project owners exploring clean energy options. The summit is supported by an influential advisory board and features speakers from Zambia's energy ecosystem, including representatives from the Energy Regulation Board, Zambia Development Agency, and Africa GreenCo. International voices, like those from Kenya Power and ENGIE Energy Access, will also contribute insights tailored to Zambia's energy landscape.
This year's event receives backing from sponsors and partners committed to advancing energy resilience across Africa. EnerJ, a leader in clean energy development, joins as Gold Sponsor, with global engineering firms WEG and Vertiv participating as Bronze Sponsors. Media Partners such as ESI Africa and Engineering News will provide post-event coverage, while Association and Industry Partners like the Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry reinforce the summit's commitment to inclusive growth and sustainability.
