Zambia’s pursuit of an energy transition aims to diversify its energy portfolio, enhance sustainability, and foster economic growth amid increasing demand and climate change challenges. This review critically examines Zambia’s energy transition strategies by
drawing lessons from China’s rapid and multifaceted energy sector developments. China’s experience encompasses large-scale renewable integration, technological innovation, policy reforms, and infrastructure modernization, which can serve as valuable blueprints for Zambia. The paper highlights key areas such as renewable energy deployment, grid modernization, policy frameworks, and technology transfer, emphasizing how Zambia can adapt these lessons within its context. The synthesis underscores the importance of strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and technological adaptation in achieving a resilient,
sustainable energy future for Zambia.
