Projects & Milestones

CapNova is currently in the Land & Permitting phase for Copperbelt projects, designed for scalable grid connection and hybrid PV + storage operation.

Company overview

CapNova Energy Group is a Zambia-focused renewable energy developer delivering bankable solar PV, grid-connected power systems, and hybrid solutions backed by disciplined engineering and project development.

We are progressing projects through the Land Identification & Permitting phase, with a focus on Copperbelt opportunities (Ndola, Kitwe, Lufwanyama) and strong utility and regulatory engagement.

What “bankable” means to us

  • Robust site selection and land title verification
  • Early grid interface, evacuation and feasibility considerations
  • Clear regulatory pathways (ERB, ZESCO/CEC) and compliance
  • Environmental and permitting readiness
  • Transparent investor-ready documentation

Current phase

Land screening • Evacuation/substation assessment • Permitting & stakeholder engagement • Investor readiness

Development Timeline

Phase 1 (0–3 months): Land & Permitting
Land identification, municipal engagement, preliminary grid corridor screening.
Phase 2 (3–9 months): Studies & Applications
ESIA, formal grid impact / feasibility study initiation, licensing pathway preparation.
Phase 3 (9–15 months): Structuring & Financing
Offtake discussions, investor/lender engagement, project company structuring.
Phase 4 (15–24 months): EPC & Commissioning
EPC appointment, construction, grid connection, commissioning.

Battery Storage – High-Level Assumptions

Phase 1 (10 MW)

Baseline: 10–20 MWh (1–2 hrs). Final sizing confirmed after grid studies and PPA structure.

Scale-up (30 MW)

Baseline: 60 MWh (2 hrs). Used for peak shifting, voltage support, and curtailment reduction.

Utility-scale (50–100 MW)

Baseline: 100–400 MWh (2–4 hrs). Enables hybrid dispatch and stronger offtake options.
