Zuva Petroleum, the leading energy company in Zimbabwe, has announced a multi-million-dollar solar project that will see the energy giant installing 180 solar plants across its service stations, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) sites and depots by the end of 2021.

“Our investment in solar is part of a long-term strategy on renewable and sustainable energy aimed at reducing our carbon footprint through lowering carbon dioxide emissions and ensuring uninterrupted energy delivery at our service stations and LPG installations nationwide,” said CEO Zuva Petroleum, Bethwell Gumbo.

After project completion, Zuva plans to channel 30% of the power generated from the solar plants to the national power grid.

With a population of 16 million, only about 32% of the Zimbabwean population has access to electricity.
