ZPC re-awards Gwanda solar to Chivayo

The Zimbabwe Power Company re-awarded the Gwanda Solar Project to Wicknell Chivayo with a two-year ultimatum. The decision comes despite the company's previous bungling of the project, which left the 100 MW solar plant unbuilt. Critics question the rationale behind re-trusting a contractor with a track record of non-delivery. Supporters cite the need to meet renewable energy targets. The company must deliver or face cancellation.
