The 2nd edition of the Zimbabwe–Zambia Energy Projects Summit (ZimZam 2025) will take place from 26–28 November 2025 at the Radisson Blu Mosi-Oa-Tunya Livingstone Resort, bringing together leading policymakers, investors, and energy developers to advance Southern Africa’s clean energy transition. With the participation of the African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and headline support from Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) as Country Host, Petrodex as Summit Sponsor, and ZESCO and Standard Bank as Sponsors, the event will be the region’s foremost platform for sustainable investment and regional cooperation.
The Honourable Makozo Chikote, Zambia’s Minister of Energy, will open the summit, reaffirming the country’s commitment to regional energy integration and public–private collaboration. ZESCO will present recent policy and regulatory reforms that have enhanced predictability and strengthened investor confidence. “Zambia’s evolving energy policy has fundamentally improved investor confidence,” said Justin Loongo, ZESCO Managing Director. “Through open access and predictable tariffs, we’ve created an environment where public and private partners can deliver real progress. Cooperation between ZESCO, investors, and financiers is transforming our grid into a regional power trading hub.”
With the participation of Petrodex, CEC, ZESCO, Standard Bank, the African Union, and SADC, ZimZam 2025 will focus on financing the SADC Just Energy Transition Framework, strengthening interconnections, expanding renewable capacity, and fostering cross-border investment. The summit stands as Southern Africa’s defining platform for translating regional energy cooperation into lasting development outcomes.
