GOVT TARGETS 16-HOUR DAILY POWER SUPPLY FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS
GOVERNMENT has set a target to supply a minimum of 16 hours of electricity daily to residential areas and compounds by the end of this month.
Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet for Finance and Economic Development, Siazongo Siakalenge, emphasised that power should be prioritised for residential areas during productive hours, while industrial zones should receive supply at night.
Mr. Siakalenge made the remarks during the Finance and Economic Development Cluster Group meeting for Permanent Secretaries and Controlling Officers held in Lusaka today.
He stressed the need to leverage favorable energy reforms such as open access and net metering to address the country’s ongoing energy challenges.
Mr. Siakalenge also called for the swift and timely execution of cabinet resolutions, noting that they are a top priority for national development.
Meanwhile, Head of the Presidential Delivery Unit, Kusobile Kamwambi, said the meeting aims to discuss measures being taken to ensure efficiency in handling resources.

Election season loading.
This government thinks voters are stupid. Even if loadshedding stopped completely now, we know it is because of elections. We know that as soon as he is reelected, darkness will follow.
DO NOT BE A FOOL. DO NOT BE FOOLED.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Jealous will kill you my dear…
Indingo ‘s derangement at it’s best. You can only talk about tribalism. Show me the leadership in the previous regime then after that we can talk.
Indigo is right this time. This is a well known stupid bid to sway minds of the electorate. It will not work. Just like PF made it’s mistakes to steal and unleash cadres on us. UPND cheated us to vote for them and we did. This time no lies will save them. We will neither vote for the nor for PF but others who have never been in power. Kwapwa.
The energy minister lied also just a few days ago. We will work smart this time…no lies will save them. We removed PF and we will remove them also.
This seems like an election ploy for sure. Pathetic.
But replace them with whom? PF thieves and thugs or the useless alliance of confused, never done anything politicians?
I would stick with UPND, they are making progress. Load shedding was not because of them, but the over reliance on hydro power in a drought. We need alternative sources of power, clean energy.
It will be wrong and a bad decision for Zambians to bring back UPND, the question is who should be voted in?. The answer is anyone apart from UPND and PF. Why?, because anyone who will be voted in will see that as Zambians we are past being lied to and that president will work hard from day one because we would have sent a message as Zambians that if you lie, your gone within the first term
The best is to maintain UPND Others just talk and do personal business.
