Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa officiated the groundbreaking ceremony for a new 720MW coal thermal power plant, developed by Titan New Energy in partnership with ZESA Holdings in Hwange.<\/p>\n

According to The Herald, Titan Energy has invested US$1 billion in the 720MW Phase 1 project, along with plans for an additional 200MW solar plant to be constructed in Gweru as part of Phase 2.<\/p>\n

Construction is set to begin immediately, with some units expected to be operational by the end of next year.<\/p>\n

The Hwange power station will utilise lower-quality coal from mining operations that would otherwise go to waste.<\/p>\n

In his keynote address at the event on Monday, November 02, Mnangagwa said that electricity is essential for industrialization and plays a critical role in sectors such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. He said:<\/p>\n

It gives me great pleasure to officiate at this ground-breaking ceremony for the power plant projects by Titan New Energy, Dinson and Afrochine.<\/p>\n

This marks another milestone in our country\u2019s journey towards modernisation, industrialisation and sustainable socio-economic development, anchored on a robust energy sector.<\/p>\n

Electricity is the lifeblood of industrialisation and is critical for our mining, agriculture and manufacturing sectors, among others…<\/p>\n

The Titan Thermal Power Plant being embarked upon will see the remarkable generation of 720MW, whilst Afrochine will contribute 100MW through a solar PV project in Selous.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the same investors from Titan will undertake the Jinan 200MW solar power plant in Gweru. These projects are expected to be completed by December 2025.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa said local communities in Hwange, Chivhu, and Selous should benefit more from investment projects by creating jobs, stimulating economic activity, and facilitating skills transfer and development.<\/p>\n

He urged investors to fully integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into their projects, promoting a comprehensive approach to development.<\/p>\n

The President also condemned the vandalism of electricity infrastructure and called for swift action against those responsible.<\/p>\n

The new 720MW project is part of the agreements reached during President Mnangagwa\u2019s recent visit to China for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit in Beijing.<\/p>\n
