Yesterday, the CBC team, led by CEO Teddy Soobramanien, paid a courtesy call on our member, Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC).

The engagement provided an opportunity for meaningful discussions on enhancing investment in the energy sector, with CBC commending CEC’s leadership in advancing solar energy and its continued contribution to regional power development.

CBC reaffirmed its commitment to supporting CEC’s initiatives and strengthening collaboration in driving sustainable energy solutions.

We extend our appreciation to the Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc team George Kang’ombe and Vincent Nyirenda for the insightful exchange.

The energy sector remains a critical pillar for the COMESA region. With support from the World Bank, COMESA is implementing the Accelerating Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation (ASCENT) programme aimed at expanding energy access across Eastern and Southern Africa and delivering electricity connections to 100 million people.
