Mnangagwa Announces New 250MW Solar Plants

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the government is in the process of developing two solar power plants with a combined capacity of 250 megawatts, aimed at increasing Zimbabwe’s power generation and alleviating the widespread electricity shortages currently experienced across the country.

Zimbabwe’s power deficit has been exacerbated by decreased water levels at the country’s primary hydroelectric plant in Kariba, resulting in a sharp reduction in the water available for power generation.

In addition to the recently commissioned Hwange 7 and 8 Units in 2023, the President said that these two new solar power facilities will be brought online soon. He said:

The role of the energy and power sector in socio-economic development through industrialisation cannot be over-emphasised.

Low power production levels at Kariba Power Station are being offset by the Hwange 7 & 8 expansion project, which now feeds a constant supply to the national grid.

Among numerous power augmentation projects, two large solar plants with a total capacity of 250 megawatts are being developed and will soon be commissioned.

Zimbabwe’s current electricity demand stands at approximately 1,800 MW, but as of August 13, 2024, the country was able to generate a total of only 1,108 MW.

new solar system to replace conventional solar panels The new cell uses perovskite, a crystalline structure formed by minerals that convert sunlight into electricity. The perovskite cell was invented by Japanese scientist and Toin University of Yokohama professor Tsutomu Miyasaka.

I know of some local companies that are building their own solar plants to find a way around load shedding, and coincidentally they are almost done . I hope haasiwo avaKuHijekwa

In the past before 1980 there were persistent droughts hard droughts, the white had all the industry demanding electricity more than what we need today, this country never went dark. It is the same kariba now we are in technology, which water, and what, are you asleep? CORRECT CORRUPTION CORRECT YOURSELF

Before 1980, there were a few industries and less than 8 million people, and with fewer houses and businesses requiring electricity. Now we have nearly 20 million people with more residential and industrial areas connected to the power grid. So the issue is not about 44 plus years ago. It's about understanding the increase in demand, which must be offset by creating more. Tangai mafunga musati maita ma comparisons enyu eku crèche aya.

@F NO. DON'T EXPOSE YOUR IGNORANCE LIKE THAT. IN 1980 THE POPULATION WAS 5 MILLION, TODAY 14 MILLION . HOW MANY HOUSES WERE BUILT SINCE 1980? WHITES WERE FEW AND NEVER EXPANDED ANYTHING. RURAL AREAS HAD NO ELECTRICITY AND THERE WERE NO PLANS TO EXTEND THE FACILITIES TO BLACKS . PEOPLE MUST RESEARCH BEFORE BARKING.
