Renewable energy firm GridAfrica and global tech giant Huawei have joined forces to install 72 MW of solar power infrastructure to support Zimbabwe’s mining sector.
This collaboration aims to reduce reliance on the national grid and cut operational costs for local mining companies.
“This initiative will not only optimize energy usage but also provide a sustainable power source that enhances the mining sector’s efficiency and financial stability,” stated Norman Moyo, CEO of GridAfrica.
The solar power project is projected to generate over 1,000 direct jobs and nearly 4,000 indirect employment opportunities for Zimbabweans, contributing significantly to local economic growth.
