ZESCO CONTRACTS 1.3 MILLION EUROS FROM WORLD BANK


At least 1.3 million Euros will be spent in the electrification of some parts of Central and Northern provinces.
This is in a contract involving SWECO, an international consulting engineering company of Sweden.
The Swedish company will improve access to electricity in works contracted by ZESCO under World Bank financing.
This is against the background of widespread lack of access to electricity in the respective provinces, a problem which creates social and economic obstacles for progress.
In details of the project, SWECO will supervise and control the existing power distribution network as they expand and reinforce it for the benefit of at least 260,000 people.
In recent years, SWECO has been hired for a number of similar assignments in countries like Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania.
