Kamativi solar plant aims for September launch

KMC chief operating officer Turkey Liang told Parliament's portfolio committee on mines that the Kamativi solar plant targets a September launch. Southern Eye reported construction is underway at the site of a former tin mine. The project is part of Zimbabwe's push to address chronic power shortages that cripple mining and manufacturing. Previous renewable energy initiatives have faced delays due to funding and equipment import hurdles. The horizon now sees the plant racing against the onset of the dry season when hydroelectric output drops, potentially exacerbating load-shedding that already costs the economy millions daily.
