Zimbabwe’s 720MW Power Plant To Break Ground On December 2

On
2nd
December,
President
Mnangagwa
will
lead
the
ground-breaking
of
the
Titan
Energy
projects,
so
that
construction
can
begin.

Titan
is
working
in
Hwange
and
has
made
a
joint
venture
with
a
company
in
China
after
being
invited
by
the
President
to
explore
investment
opportunities
in
Zimbabwe.

We
thank
our
President
Mnangagwa
for
his
visit
to
China,
where
53
countries
met
with
China’s
President.

Zimbabwe
is
one
of
the
countries
that
signed
investment
agreements,
and
they
plan
to
build
an
electricity
power
station
that
will
generate
900MW,
plus
a
200MW
solar
system.

This
will
be
a
mega
station,
bigger
than
Units
7
and
8,
and
we
thank
President
Mnangagwa
for
being
open
for
business
and
inviting
investors
into
Zimbabwe.

We
are
excited
as
a
province
because
this
creates
jobs
for
our
people
and
boosts
the
provincial
economy.

The
construction
of
the
new
power
plant
in
Hwange
will
boost
Zimbabwe’s
power
generation
capacity,
reducing
the
country’s
reliance
on
imports
and
helping
to
alleviate
the
ongoing
challenges
of
load-shedding.

This
development
is
expected
to
provide
much-needed
relief
to
households,
businesses,
and
industries
that
have
been
grappling
with
frequent
power
outages.

Hwange,
which
hosts
some
of
Zimbabwe’s
largest
coal
reserves,
is
also
home
to
the
country’s
biggest
power
plant.

The
Hwange
Colliery
Company,
which
operates
the
region’s
oldest
coal
mine,
has
proven
reserves
estimated
to
last
over
1,000
years
at
the
current
production
rate.
