Power generation · Independent power producer
Tomorrow, we generate the power.
We are developing renewable generation projects that will make EcoHive an independent power producer: clean electricity, made in Zambia, at scale.
Why it matters
More clean power for Zambia.
Solar at utility scale
Large solar plants turn Zambia's sunshine into electricity for everyone.
A stronger grid
New generation means fewer power cuts for homes and businesses.
A more varied supply
Solar adds daytime power to a grid that relies heavily on hydropower.
Independent power
What is an independent power producer?
An independent power producer (IPP) is a company that builds and runs its own power plants and sells the electricity, usually to the national utility or to large energy users under long-term agreements. IPPs add new generation without waiting for public funding, and in a country whose grid relies heavily on hydropower, they add supply that doesn't depend on rainfall.
For EcoHive, it's the next step on a path we're already on: from single rooftops, to shared power for whole villages, to clean generation for the grid.
Our path
From rooftops to the grid.
2024
Founded in Lusaka as a solar installation company.
Then
Pay-as-you-go and Energy-as-a-Service bring solar within reach of more customers.
2026
Unified Energy Access switches on Lazaro Village.
Next
Independent power production: clean generation for the grid.
Our vision
To become Africa's leading decentralised energy utility, transforming under-served communities and powering a climate-resilient future.
Questions
What people ask us.
Is EcoHive an independent power producer today?
Not yet. We're developing our first renewable generation projects now. We'll share details as they become public.
Why solar?
Zambia has strong sunshine all year. Solar plants are quick to build, and they produce the most power in the daytime, when demand is high.
