- In a LinkedIn post, Petrodex has announced that the Mailo Solar Plant, formerly known as Serenje Solar, has been fully energised this week, marking a major milestone in Zambia’s clean energy transition.Â
The plant was officially renamed Mailo in recognition of the local Mailo Chiefdom and the invaluable role the community and traditional leadership have played throughout the project’s development.
With an installed capacity of 25 MW, Mailo Solar is now supplying clean, reliable power to the national grid, supporting Zambia’s growing energy needs and climate commitments. This marks the completion of Phase One of a planned 100 MW development, with construction of Phase Two commencing shortly.
This project is the foundation of a broader 400 MW solar pipeline in Zambia, underscoring the company’s  long-term commitment to supporting the country’s energy transition through sustainable infrastructure.
