It is my pleasure to welcome you to the second issue of The Volt, a publication that chronicles the milestones, achievements, and people powering CEC’s continued evolution.

This edition captures a defining chapter in our growth journey. From advancing renewable energy generation and strengthening regional energy partnerships to investing in our people and communities, the stories featured in this issue reflect how CEC continues to grow with purpose, ambition, and responsibility.

A defining milestone during the first half of the year was the commissioning of the 136 MW Itimpi II Solar PV Plant. The landmark project significantly expanded our renewable energy portfolio and strengthened our contribution to Zambia’s energy security. More than an investment in generation capacity, Itimpi II represents our belief in the potential of renewable energy to power economic growth, create opportunity and build a more resilient energy future.

Our growth is measured by more than megawatts, infrastructure and financial performance. It is equally reflected in the capabilities and wellbeing of our people, the strength of our partnerships, our unwavering commitment to safety and the positive impact we make in the communities where we operate. Across this edition, you will discover stories that demonstrate how these elements come together to drive sustainable progress across the CEC Group.

You will also read about our engagements on regional and international platforms, where we continue to contribute to conversations shaping the future of energy in Africa. These engagements reinforce the value of collaboration as we work alongside governments, industry partners, investors and communities to address the opportunities and challenges within the energy sector.

As we look ahead, we remain focused on building a resilient and diversified energy business that delivers reliable power, supports economic development and creates shared value for all our stakeholders.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We invite you to explore this edition and celebrate the milestones, partnerships, and people that continue to shape CEC’s story of growth.
