Mr Zulu said Zambia would use the opportunity to lobby support which would help boost energy production at Kariba Dam as well small hydropower stations in various parts of the country.
Mr Zulu also said Zambia was keen to learn from other African countries that had made positive strides in involving the private sector to actively participate in developing the energy sector.
This is according to a statement released by first secretary for Press and tourism at the Zambian Embassy in Ethiopia, Dorcas Chileshe.
The summit would, among other things, discuss ways of boosting energy production on the continent to enhance development.
