Renewable energy firm GridAfrica and global technology company Huawei have partnered to install 72 MW of solar power infrastructure to support Zimbabwe’s mining sector.
The partnership aims to alleviate pressure on the national grid and lower operational costs for mining companies in the county.
“This initiative will not only optimize energy usage but also provide a sustainable power source that will enhance the operational efficiency and financial stability of the mining sector,” stated Norman Moyo, CEO of GridAfrica.
The solar power agreement is expected to create over 1,000 direct jobs and nearly 4,000 indirect employment opportunities for local Zimbabweans.
