ZANACO has announced the implementation of solar power solutions to supply energy to 70 of its ATMs and 16 branches nationwide, reducing its carbon footprint and supporting renewable energy.

Chief Operations Officer, Vincent Chuunga, stated in Lusaka in a statement on Thursday that the bank recognised the need for sustainable solutions that address both environmental concerns and the practical realities faced by Zambians amid ongoing drought-induced power outages.

“The installation of solar solutions for branches and ATMs not only enhances operational efficiency but also provides reliable banking services, especially in light of the challenges posed by load shedding,” Chuunga said.
