The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority is set to host the Zimbabwe-Zambia Energy Projects Summit in Victoria Falls next week.
This significant event aims to foster collaboration between the two countries and accelerate the development of sustainable energy solutions.
The summit, themed "Powering Zimbabwe and Zambia's Sustainable Energy Future: Unlocking Opportunities in Renewables, Grid Modernisation and Energy Access," will take place from November 18 to 21. It will bring together key stakeholders, including government officials, industry experts, financiers, and technology providers, to discuss and implement strategies for a sustainable energy future.
ZERA CEO, Edington Mazambani, emphasized the importance of the summit in driving sustainable energy development: "Together, we will explore the vast opportunities in renewables, modernize our grids, and ensure energy access for all. Let us unite in our vision to power Zimbabwe and Zambia's sustainable energy future, unlocking potential for growth, innovation, and collaboration."
Manoj Patil, Director of Mining Engineering Services, highlighted the potential of the summit to unlock opportunities in energy and infrastructure across both countries. He noted that the recent investment of US$1.76 billion by the Zambia Environmental Management Agency into the energy sector underscores the urgent need for energy expansion in the region.
The summit will address critical issues such as grid infrastructure investment, creating an attractive investment climate for energy projects, and leveraging renewable energy solutions to achieve universal access.
