In 1994 the Government of the Republic of Zambia promulgated the National Energy Policy (NEP).With regards to electricity sub-sector,the main objective of the NEP was to increase access to electricity for majority of Zambians,increase the efficiency and performance of the electricity industry in Zambia and to attract private sector involvement in the development of potential hydro electricity generation sites in Zambia.In 1998 a policy document titled Framework and Package of Incentives for Hydropower Generation and Transmission Development (FPI) was approved and adopted by Cabinet.This resulted in the formation of the Office for Promoting Private Power Investment (OPPPI) which started operating in October 1999.
