The Zimbabwean oil company recently unveiled a project to build 180 solar power plants to supply its various sites in Zimbabwe. Work will begin in 2021. Zuva Petroleum is determined to reduce its carbon footprint through renewable energy. The Zimbabwe-based oil company recently launched a project to build 180 solar power plants in the country. The electricity generated will be used to power Zuva Petroleum’s petrol stations, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sites and depots. The oil company plans to start work in 2021. “We also plan to channel 30 per cent of the electricity produced by the solar power plants to the national grid through a net metering system. This will improve the electricity supply to the population. Of Zimbabwe’s 16 million people, only 32 per cent have access to electricity,” says Zuva Petroleum.
