Free QuoteIn 2022, energy supply in Zimbabwe is a mix of hydropower (68.17%) coal and renewable energy sources (31.83%), according to the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority. Over the past five years, independent power producers (IPPs) have explored alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels and biomass.
In the last couple of years there has been an increased focus on solar energy. Zimbabwe has solar irradiation averaging 20 MJ per m2 and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Its location and climate provide a lucrative opportunity for investment in solar energy technology and the government is looking to provide incentives to leverage in the sector.
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.
Investment opportunities will arise in two main areas in Zimbabwe in the next decade: renewable energy and petroleum. The government has provided incentives to the energy sector and awarded several IPP licenses to different companies, but very few of these projects have been executed.
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.
In 2020, the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (2021-2025) Strategic Plan was approved. Among other targets, it sets out the following proposed deliverables: Increasing the number of operational IPPs from the current 30 (as at September 2022), to 90 by 2023. Energy prices to reflect Return on Investment to promote viability of IPPs.
