- A new 10MW solar project is expected to come online in Zimbabwe.
- The Guruve solar project is worth US$4.75 million.
The energy firm, New Sahara Ventures, has announced that one of its biggest projects is set to be deployed in a district in Zimbabwe. The Guruve solar project worth US$4,75 million is expected to feed 10 megawatts into the national grid this year, with two megawatts ready to be connected in May.
The first phase of two megawatts was expected to be connected to the national grid on March 27 this year but was stalled after a transformer in transit from South Africa was damaged in an accident.
Guruve RDC chief executive Mr Tinos Marisa said the solar project is one of the biggest projects that will benefit Mbire district in power supply. “The project was started in 2018 in collaboration with the local authority. The target is to generate 10 megawatts and feed into the national grid,” he said.
