Our Approach

Building Southern Africa's Energy Infrastructure

Our portfolio is built on three principles: long-term ownership, operational excellence and deep local partnership. Every project we develop, finance or operate is evaluated against its contribution to the region's energy security, its financial returns and its social and environmental impact.

Solar PVDevelopment

Kafue Solar IPP

150 MW
Southern Province, Zambia

A utility-scale solar photovoltaic independent power producer project in Zambia's Southern Province, targeting a 25-year power purchase agreement with ZESCO and a portfolio of commercial and industrial off-takers. The project will be developed under Zambia's ERB licensing framework and financed through a combination of development finance debt and equity.

SAPP Cross-Border Wheeling

500 MW
Zambia–Zimbabwe Corridor

Cascadia's active cross-border wheeling and trading operation, utilising the Zambia–Zimbabwe interconnector to move power between SAPP member states. This operation provides liquidity to the SAPP Day-Ahead Market and supports bilateral supply agreements with utilities and large consumers across the corridor.

Lusaka Battery Storage

50 MW / 200 MWh
Lusaka, Zambia

A grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project targeting frequency regulation, peak shaving and renewable integration services for the Zambian national grid. The project will be co-located with the Kafue Solar IPP and structured as a separate project finance vehicle.

Kariba, Zambia/Zimbabwe

A long-term offtake agreement targeting a portion of the generation capacity from the Kariba North Bank hydropower station, operated by ZESCO. The offtake would be structured as a bilateral contract for resale into the SAPP market and to regional utilities.

Lake Tanganyika Geothermal

100 MW
Northern Province, Zambia / Tanzania Border

An early-stage geothermal development opportunity along the East African Rift System in Zambia's Northern Province, near the Lake Tanganyika basin. The project targets flash steam and binary cycle generation from identified hydrothermal resources. Geothermal provides 24/7 firm baseload power with a capacity factor above 90%, making it uniquely valuable for grid stability in a region dominated by variable hydro and solar. Cascadia is conducting initial resource assessment and geological surveys in partnership with regional geothermal specialists.

Green HydrogenOrigination

Kafue Green Hydrogen Hub

50 MW electrolyser
Southern Province, Zambia

A green hydrogen production facility co-located with the Kafue Solar IPP, using surplus solar generation to power a 50 MW electrolyser stack. The facility will produce green hydrogen for industrial off-takers in Zambia's Copperbelt mining sector and evaluate export pathways via green ammonia conversion. The project leverages Zambia's exceptional solar resource and positions Cascadia at the frontier of Southern Africa's emerging hydrogen economy. A pre-feasibility study is underway in partnership with a European electrolyser manufacturer and a Zambian mining group.

How We Work

Our Development Approach

01

Origination

We identify and originate project opportunities through our regional network of utilities, regulators, developers and landowners. We prioritise projects with clear offtake visibility and a defined regulatory pathway.

02

Development

We manage the full development process — feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessments, grid connection studies, regulatory approvals and offtake negotiations — to bring projects to financial close.

03

Finance

We structure and mobilise project finance from development finance institutions, commercial banks and institutional equity investors. We target non-recourse or limited-recourse structures with long-term tenors.

04

Construction

We manage EPC procurement and construction oversight through to commercial operations date (COD), working with internationally experienced contractors and local subcontractors.

05

Operations

We operate projects to the highest standards of safety, reliability and efficiency — maximising availability, managing O&M costs and delivering on offtake obligations throughout the asset's life.
