Renergy Solar, a Danish company, is poised to make a significant contribution to Zimbabwe’s renewable energy sector with a proposed 100 MW solar project. The company has secured the necessary approvals from the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) and has identified suitable land for the project. Initial grid studies have yielded positive results, marking significant progress in the project’s development.
This initiative aligns with Renergy Solar’s broader mission to illuminate Africa with renewable energy. The company is exclusively focused on solar projects across the continent, aiming to reduce energy costs and promote sustainable development. The firm’s investments in countries like Zimbabwe, will help to foster a cleaner, more sustainable future for the region.
Renergy Solar’s commitment to the green energy transition in Sub-Saharan Africa was further highlighted during their participation in the “Nordic Nigeria Connect 2023 – Innovation for a Greener Future” conference. Their COO, Mikkel Hansen, engaged in a panel discussion on the transition from traditional energy sources to solar solutions.
Recently, Renergy Solar had the opportunity to meet with the Ghana Ministry of Energy in discussions centered around the West African country’s ambitious new Energy Transition and Investment Plan. The plan outlines a roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. This plan presents a significant opportunity for international investment and collaboration in the country’s sustainable development efforts.
Renergy Solar is enthusiastic about contributing to Zimbabwe and Africa’s energy transition goals. By leveraging renewable energy solutions, the company aims to help the Sub-Saharan Africa region reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and create a more sustainable energy landscape.
