BCC scouts for solar project investors

BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) has started scouting for potential investors to bankroll its ambitious solar power project meant to ease the city’s power challenges.

The plant would be located at the city’s cemeteries, starting with the de-commissioned Hyde Park cemetery.

Mayor Solomon Mguni said the project, mooted last year, was now on track after residents approved it in the face of incessant electricity outages.
