BCC’s solar projects stalled by Zida approval delays

BULAWAYO City Council’s (BCC) solar power projects have reportedly been stalled by the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (Zida), which is yet to approve proposals by prospective contractors.

BCC is embarking on a scheme to introduce solar farms to mitigate against power outages in Bulawayo.

In July this year, council said nine companies were competing to partner with the city in its ambitious drive.
