The southern African country is currently generating less than half of its 1,700 MW power demand, due to the under performance of its ageing coal-fired plants and low water levels which impact generation from its 1,050 MW hydro power plant at Kariba. China Energy’s proposal, made to the state-owned Zimbabwe Power Company and a private consortium of the country’s industrial power consumers, would see about 1.8 million solar panels installed at a cost of $987 million, the documents seen by Reuters show.
It would also include a transmission line from the booster station to a sub-station in Kariba. China Energy has recently completed two floating solar projects in China’s Shandong Province and Thailand, according to the documents.
