Chasi turns to renewable energy

Energy minister Fortune Chasi has called on players in the private sector to collaborate with the government and invest in renewable energy to offset the power deficit in the country.

Chasi’s calls came at a time Zimbabwe is experiencing extreme load-shedding, with most parts of the country going for more than 18 hours without electricity daily.

Addressing the second renewable energy and power infrastructure investor conference in Harare yesterday, the minister said the current constrained supplies of electricity being
experienced in Zimbabwe were clear opportunities for the private sector.
