This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of Zimbabwe to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply, storage, and demand response continuously every 30 seconds for three years (2050-2052).
In 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.

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.

In Fig. 8 (c), the regulation capacity of the system is improved after the introduction of the energy storage system, and the output of thermal power units is significantly reduced compared with Scenario 1 Simultaneously, the output of wind and solar power generation has increased proportionally.
Wind power systems harness the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity, offering a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Wind turbines (WT), the primary components of these systems, consist of blades that capture wind energy and spin a rotor connected to a generator, producing electrical power through electromagnetic induction.
For on-grid applications, combining wind and solar can also offer advantages. One primary benefit is grid stability. Fluctuations in renewable energy supply can be problematic for maintaining a stable, consistent energy supply on the grid. The hybrid system can help mitigate this issue by providing a more constant power output.
Moreover, when combined with carbon trading mechanisms, energy storage systems can optimize the internal output plan of the power generation system, thereby maximizing the consumption of wind and solar power and minimizing the cost of power generation.
In general, the curtailment of wind and solar power can be reduced by energy storage systems and carbon trading mechanisms, and a dispatching model that considers the integration of both can maximize the on-grid energy of wind and solar power.
