The sun is rising on a new era for Zimbabwe's energy sector, with solar power poised to become a significant contributor to the national grid.
Major expansion is underway, with new solar plants under construction that will add another 100MW to the independent grid supply.
Government policies are evolving to support renewable energy. Investors now have clearer guidelines for decision-making, encouraging investment in solar panels and battery storage.
Old Mutual, a major local investor, has entered the renewable energy space, offering investment opportunities for ordinary Zimbabweans. They've also invested in a solar power station for their own headquarters.
From Concept to Reality:
We've moved beyond the "proof of concept" stage. Solar power is now a viable and attractive business proposition for companies seeking to expand their operations in the renewable energy sector.Investment and Policy Align:
The recent International Renewable Energy Conference in Victoria Falls showcased positive progress. Discussions focused on funding and project commissioning, replacing the previous emphasis on "planning in progress." |

Power to the People: Diverse Solutions:
- Independent Power Producers (IPPs): The government encourages private companies to build solar stations and sell the generated electricity to the national grid.
- Private Solar Solutions: Businesses, institutions, and homes can install solar panels for their own consumption, eliminating the need for licenses and offering a quicker implementation process.
- Mini-Grids: President Mnangagwa proposes mini-grids as a way to expand electricity access to rural areas. These self-contained systems would power communities until integration with the national grid becomes feasible. Affordability is a key consideration, with pricing structures designed to cover costs and prevent profiteering.
Financing the Future:
Agreements with external investors have been secured for some projects, while domestic investment is also gaining traction.Old Mutual, a major local investor, has entered the renewable energy space, offering investment opportunities for ordinary Zimbabweans.

Building a Battery-Powered Future:
Zimbabwe's recent lithium production boom presents a strategic opportunity for battery manufacturing. The availability of locally sourced lithium and other key minerals positions the country to become a battery production hub.A Brighter Energy Future:
The embrace of solar power signifies a significant shift towards a more sustainable energy future for Zimbabwe. This not only reduces reliance on traditional, often polluting, energy sources but also fosters economic growth and technological advancement.As solar power continues to expand, Zimbabwe is poised to illuminate its path towards a brighter energy future.
