‘Our goal is to light up the country’

ZIMBABWE put forward a National Renewable Energy Policy in 2019, with the aim to have 16.5 percent of the total generation capacity from renewable sources by 2025. A number of Independent Power Producers (IPP) have taken a keen interest in the sector including SolGas Energy, which was started by young entrepreneurs.
