Is Zimbabwe a future energy exporter?With this ambitious roadmap, ZESA is positioning Zimbabwe as a future energy exporter while addressing domestic power needs. However, the success of these plans hinges on navigating complex financial and logistical challenges. ZESA has unveiled ambitious plans to end the country’s power shortages and load shedding woes by 2030.
Will Zimbabwe end power shortages and load shedding by 2030?The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) has unveiled ambitious plans to end the country’s power shortages and load shedding by 2030. With projects generating 3,000MW currently underway, ZESA says it aims to provide universal access to electricity and eliminate load shedding altogether.
How much power does ZESA have awaiting approval?Dr Gata revealed, “We have 1,020MW of projects awaiting ground-breaking and 450MW pending approval.” ZESA’s broader strategy includes ending power imports by 2026, initiating net exports by 2028, and rolling out a public lighting system by 2029.
How many MW of electricity will be produced in Hwange in 2024?The Zhong Jin Heli project, expected to produce 300MW in Hwange, began in November and will be completed by March next year. The Titan Project, a 720MW coal-fired plant also in Hwange, will deliver power by December next year. A 100MW coalfield project in Beitbridge and the 200MW Jinan solar project in Gweru are set to come online by December 20
Zimbabwe is simultaneously facing a substantial energy supply crisis and a historical window of opportunities in its lithium mineral resources that are critical to the global green energy transition.
