Physical

PGI develop both small hydro electric power run of river schemes and solar power schemes to deliver electricity into the southern African national grids. Our hydro electric business is centered on the Nyangani Massif in eastern Zimbabwe which has perennial rivers rising within it. Our schemes are all designed to:

• Have a high head and low volume of water
• Have a very low environmental impact as there is no water storage through the building of dams
• Operate at about 40% of their maximum installed capacity
• Connect directly into the national grid with the sole buyer of electricity being the grid operator.

The power generation plants in Zimbabwe are:
