Energy Expert Boniface Zulu says the expansion of power generation at Maamba Collieries from the current 300 to 600 megawatts will boost investor confidence in Zambia.
Mr. Zulu has observed that investing in power generation in the country is key as it will attract more investors.
Mr Zulu has explained that adequate power supply in the country will also drive economic growth due to increased power production.
He adds that the expansion of Maamba Collieries power plant will not only add to the power generated in the country but will also result in job creation for the local people in the area.
Mr Zulu has since, appealed to the mining firm to ensure that maintenance works are carried out in adequate time in order to ensure that the system is maintained.
He said maintaining machinery at the Maamba Collieries power plant will also help to avoid long term problems.
