African Power Projects and Buffalo Energy

Zambian Renewable Energy Projects

\nBuffalo Energy and African Power Projects are collaborating on the development of five grid-connected renewable energy projects in Zambia totalling over 420MW of installed capacity. All have proven technical and economic feasibility and have no environmental and social 'red flags'. APP and Buffalo are based in Lusaka and are staffed by a group of experienced developers of energy and infrastructure projects in Africa and Europe.\n
