The discussion highlighted the importance of sustainable energy development and public awareness in supporting the country’s energy needs.

Meanwhile, stakeholders, including Kanona Energy, the Energy Regulation Board (ERB), ZESCO and TAZAMA Pipelines, joined the Ministry of Energy in engaging pupils in selected schools across Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi Districts through energy awareness talks and career development discussions.

The engagements focused on the electricity and petroleum sub-sectors, including LPG, sustainable energy use amid climate change, and career opportunities in the energy sector.

The activities are being held under the theme “Bridging the Energy Gap, Accelerating Universal Access and Industrialization.”
