Before formal engagement
- 1
Document site ownership, lease rights or formal authority to use the site.
- 2
Obtain interval load data to validate demand, export and battery assumptions.
- 3
Prepare a preliminary electrical single-line diagram.
- 4
Define the metering, anti-islanding and protection approach.
- 5
Complete an initial environmental and social screening.
This is a general readiness screen. Confirm licensing thresholds, grid codes, tariffs, approvals and application procedures with the relevant authority in Zambia.
