Zimbabwe is rapidly embracing solar energy as a vital component of its energy mix. Two significant developments underscore this trend: NatPharm’s rooftop solar installation and the expansion of Centragrid’s Nyabira solar plant.
NatPharm’s New Warehouse Goes Solar
NatPharm’s newly built warehouse in Masvingo has installed rooftop solar panels at a cost of $322,000. This investment ensures a reliable 24/7 power supply for the facility’s 2,500 square meters of medicine storage. The pharmaceutical industry requires uninterrupted power to maintain the integrity of its products, making solar energy an essential component.
Centragrid’s Nyabira Solar Plant Expansion
Centragrid’s Nyabira solar plant has completed a significant expansion, increasing its capacity from 2.5MW to 25MW. This development is a major boost to Zimbabwe’s renewable energy sector. The project has attracted investment from prominent institutions, including Old Mutual Zimbabwe and the National Social Security Authority.
As Zimbabwe strives to reduce its carbon footprint and address power challenges, solar energy is poised to play a vital role. The country’s solar energy revolution is gaining momentum, with Centragrid’s Nyabira plant leading the charge. With plans for further expansion, Zimbabwe’s solar sector is expected to continue growing, providing clean energy for generations to come.
