The President of Zimbabwe,Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, will next month inaugurate the US$14.6 million Lake Mutirikwi mini-hydro power plant to boost electricity supply in the country.
The plant is already up and running and is feeding five megawatts into the national grid.
The project was executed by the Great Zimbabwe Hydro Power Company.
The firm’s project coordinator, Mr Hubert Chipfumbu, said the plant’s official inauguration is set for next month.
“The plant is now up and running. We are working on arrangements for its official inauguration by the President next month,” he said.
The Permanent Secretary for Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Dr Addmore Pazvakavambwa, said the power plant’s completion signals the province’s baby steps towards clean energy.
The plant’s construction started in March 2022.
