There are about four coal-powered thermal stations in the country, namely Munyati Power Station, Harare Power Station, Bulawayo Power Station, and Hwange Power Station, which have operated since the country gained independence approximately 50 years ago (Government of Zimbabwe, 2019).
The growing adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is a notable trend in the renewable energy market in the Zimbabwean industry. Industries leverage solar energy to power their operations, reduce reliance on the national grid, and mitigate the impacts of frequent power outages.
Tanganda Tea Company, located in the Chipinge district of eastern Zimbabwe, has installed nearly 4.6 MW of solar panels to power their factories on their agricultural estates. Mining companies are also in the run to install their solar systems as the power problem is increasing daily.
By harnessing Zimbabwe's abundant renewable resources, such as hydroelectric, solar, and wind power, an opportunity exists to enhance energy security, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and promote sustainable industrial growth. This paper delves into the potential of RES integration in the Zimbabwean industry.
