Power Giants Private Limited and GNEE China have inked a historic cooperation deal to create a billion-dollar solar project to resolve Zimbabwe’s chronic power deficit.
The event, which took place in Harare, was a critical turning point in the nation’s efforts to achieve energy independence.
Director of Power Giants Africa, Dr Edzai Kachirekwa, hailed the partnership as a timely solution to Zimbabwe’s power woes.
“This partnership will provide a solution to the power problems in the country,” Dr Kachirekwa said.
“We will have plants in all provinces, rendering Hwange and Kariba power stations redundant for emergency use only.”
The initial rollout will target rural areas and industries, providing smart energy solutions for operations.
GNEE Chief Executive, Wan Ke, expressed his commitment to supporting Zimbabwe’s electricity development, prioritizing solar power generation projects to address the power shortage.
“We will apply China’s most advanced solar products and technologies to ensure the project meets design requirements and owner expectations,” Wan Ke assured.
The project is expected to significantly relieve Zimbabwe’s power crisis, which has plagued the country for years.
With GNEE’s expertise and Power Giants’ local knowledge, the partnership is poised to significantly impact the country’s energy landscape.
