- Zimbabwe government continues to look for alternative green energy sources.
- The Hwange 7 and 8 Power Project, which is now 97 percent complete.
In recent weeks, households had to deal with power outages and about 10 hours load shedding. Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) reported it was due to depressed generation capacity at its power stations.
Speaking at the burial of liberation war hero the late Heighten Nkomo at the National Hero’s Acre, President Mnangagwa said Hwange power project which is expected to generate 600 megawatts to the national grid was almost complete.
“I am pleased that the long hours of power outages which were experienced in the past weeks are being addressed. Government continues to look for alternative green energy sources. The lasting solution, however, is the Hwange 7 and 8 Power Project, which is now 97 percent complete. This is set to add 600 megawatts to the national grid. Through our own resources, we are building our country brick by brick and stone upon stone. It is none but ourselves who have the responsibility to build a prosperous and peaceful Zimbabwe,” said President Mnangagwa.
