Forming part of Phase 2 of Kamoa-Kakula&#8217;s solar power program, the project is set to become one of the largest privately developed solar and battery storage projects led by Congolese companies in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n<h2>A Congolese Partnership Bringing Together Complementary Expertise<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6438 alignright\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Lualaba Solar Company SAS (LSC) will develop a 220 MWp photovoltaic power plant, paired with a 540 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), for Kamoa Copper SA.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forrestgroup.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/forrestgroup.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/forrestgroup.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/forrestgroup.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/forrestgroup.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/11\/signature-centrale-solaire-kamoa-kakula-LSC.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Lualaba Solar Company SAS was established through a <strong>partnership between Congo Energy, Great Lake Energy (GLE) and Vizir<\/strong>. Together, the three partners bring complementary expertise in energy project development, engineering, power infrastructure operations and financial structuring.<\/p>\n<p>Congo Energy and Great Lake Energy are playing leading roles in the development, construction and future operation of the facility, while Vizir is primarily responsible for structuring and securing the necessary financing.<\/p>\n<p>By combining their technical, industrial and financial capabilities within a single company, the partners aim to deliver a major energy infrastructure project that meets the requirements of large-scale industrial power generation.<\/p>\n<h2>A Reliable Energy Solution Tailored to Kamoa-Kakula&#8217;s Needs<\/h2>\n<p>The project is designed to help meet Kamoa Copper SA&#8217;s growing electricity requirements by providing a sustainable and efficient power generation solution suited to the demands of its industrial operations.<\/p>\n<p>The planned facility will combine 220 MWp of installed solar photovoltaic capacity with a 540 MWh battery energy storage system.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating solar generation with battery storage will help manage fluctuations in solar power output and provide greater flexibility in meeting the electricity needs of a major industrial consumer.<\/p>\n<p>The 15-year Power Purchase Agreement establishes a long-term framework for cooperation between Lualaba Solar Company and Kamoa Copper SA. It marks a key step towards bringing the project to fruition and expanding electricity generation capacity in the DRC.<\/p>\n<h2>Demonstrating the Capabilities of the Congolese Private Sector<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond its technical and industrial significance, the project highlights the growing ability of Congolese companies to take a leading role in developing major energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>By bringing together established industrial and financial partners, Lualaba Solar Company demonstrates how complex energy projects can be initiated, structured and developed locally while meeting international standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project demonstrates that Congolese companies now have the expertise and capabilities to initiate, structure and lead major energy developments, while bringing together the technical expertise and international partners needed to deliver them,\u201d said Spyros Giourgas, CEO of Congo Energy, a shareholder in Lualaba Solar Company
