Why did Zimbabwe stop a wind energy feasibility study?
This came after the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority halted a wind energy feasibility study in due to private companies’ bids exceeding the estimated budget. The government’s aim, set out under the Zimbabwe National Renewable Energy Policy, is to produce 1.1GW of renewable energy by , making up 16.5% of overall capacity.
Will Optate Africa build a wind farm in Zimbabwe?
Optate Africa is running the project in partnership with GE, a turbine manufacturing and development company that will help with the technical details of financing and constructing the wind farm. Zimbabwe has recently ramped up renewable forms of energy.
Will Zimbabwe's wind farm be affected by environmental impacts?
The wind farm is likely to be subject to an environmental impact assessment by the Environmental Management Agency to ensure its construction does not damage flora and fauna. The NGO Sustainable Energy for All said that while Zimbabwe has huge renewable energy resource potential, it is currently being constrained by dire economic circumstances.
