China-based SANY has started building a 10 MW solar plant in Zimbabwe, its first EP+F model project in Africa, aiming for grid connection by end of 2025. SANY has used 710 high-efficiency modules with advanced inverters and support brackets for the 10 MW solar project in Zimbabwe. This project, commissioned by Runtu Mining Company, marks the company's first foray into the solar energy sector in Zimbabwe and is claimed to. At the end of June, SANY officially commenced construction of a 10MW photovoltaic power plant in Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe Power Company's (ZPC) main thermal plants are very old and keep breaking down. There were also three small coal power plants in Harare, Munyati, and Bulawayo that have installed. In a groundbreaking milestone for rural development, the village of Hakwata in Zimbabwe's Chipinge District has been revolutionized by the commissioning of a 200kW solar mini-grid and a green village model. More than 12,000 people who are benefiting from this solar mini-grid consume 108kW of power.
