Description: USAID is working on a number of energy initiatives in Zambia, including technical assistance to the Ministry of Energy and the regulator to develop a Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT), complete with a standardized power purchase agreement (PPA). The first phase of the REFIT project focused on policy development, and has been completed. The policy is intended to guide and expand the role of the private sector in developing the country’s renewable energy resources and diversify the supply and nature of energy production.
