Rufaro Solar Farm in Zimbabwe

De Green Rhino Energy, a joint venture between Green Rhino Energy and De Opper Trading, is developing a 50MW solar photovoltaic power station in Marondera, 70km east of Harare.

The solar pv station will provide electricity for 80,000 people and allow economic growth.

Zimbabwe is a land-locked country in southern Africa with excellent conditions for solar pv worldwide:

High levels of solar irradiation throughout the year are coupled with a mild climate.

Zimbabwe imports 41% of its power and has an estimated deficit of 2GW in generating capacity.

In order to accelerate economic development in the country, and to decrease reliance on energy imports, Zimbabwe is attracting investors into its energy infrastructure.
