About Us | Yala Energy Limited

Company Overview

Headquartered in Lusaka, built for Zambia

Yala Energy Limited is a Zambian-incorporated private company limited by shares, established on 9 June 2026 under the Companies Act of Zambia. The company was formed to spearhead renewable energy generation projects that contribute to Zambia's long-term energy security, diversification, and sustainable development.

The company is headquartered in Lusaka, with its registered office in Chibombo District, Central Province, and was incorporated with the express mandate to develop, own, and operate renewable energy projects, beginning with the Muchenje Solar PV Plant.

Yala Energy Limited is wholly owned by Zambian promoters but is actively seeking an equity partner to strengthen its capital base, enhance technical capacity, and accelerate project delivery — reflecting international best practice for renewable energy IPPs and ensuring bankability and long-term sustainability.
