Centragrid is a young IPP that duly responded to the power demands of the country by putting together a 2MW solar plant in a record time. Congrats to the Centragrid team led by
@UtedziV
for the dedication & passion. Solar is certainly the now and the future for Zim’s power needs.
ZERA e-vehicle launch. Energy sector is evolving. Series of EV awareness raising and sensitization programs lined up across the country. The future is here.
Schweppes Zimbabwe commissioned a 1MW rooftop Solar PV system which is the biggest in Zimbabwe. The solar system is set to ensure continuous production. More of such rooftop solar systems can be installed at shopping malls, hospitals, hotels & other facilities.

is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on their rooftop, it may generate more electricity than it uses during daylight hours.

ZERA wishes to advise consumers that there is a fake fuel price list circulating on social media purporting to be effective on 14 Oct' 19. The official fuel price changes are only shared on official ZERA social media handles twitter:

Off-grid solar energy systems are changing the socio-economic landscape of rural communities. Mashaba Off-grid Solar Energy system in Gwanda is one such off-grid system worth replicating in every ward across the country. The off-grid system generates 99kW.
In 2020, uptake of modern energy should increase in rural communities. Be the catalyst in your rural home and community. Invest in solar energy for lighting and entertainment; for cooking and heating, go for biogas.

ZERA officially opened & handed over an Electric Charging unit at the Gweru Petrotrade, to promote electric vehicle use in Midlands. The aim is to expand the EV charging network nationwide for sustainable transportation & reduced emissions.
Alert!! Amendment of the Petroleum Act
ZERA would like to raise to the attention of its stakeholders the Amendment to the Petroleum Act as gazetted in General Notice 1894 of 2023.

is a solar incentive that allows consumers to store energy in the electric grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you need, that energy is sent to the grid in exchange for credits.

Since LPG is now being widely used for cooking, heating & lighting, cases of accidents & near misses may happen as with other energy forms. ZERA is intensifying consumer education awareness & safe use of LPG demonstrations in communities to prevent accidents and improper use.

Harava solar project nears completion
“The project is now 70 percent complete and we are expecting to start feeding into the national grid in the next two months. .. ...will soon evacuate power into the national grid, ..” said Mr Ngadya.
LPG cylinders need to undergo an integrity test once every 10 years. This may involve changing valves, rigorous internal & external inspection & hydraulic test. Check the manufacturer's date on your LPG cylinder & note the due date for the next integrity test.
#SafeLPGcylinders
ZERA sponsored Mutepfe Solar Installation project has a capacity of 8KW that powers the entire clinic's lighting, heating, cooling & pumping of water into tanks. Solar power is so reliable that the clinic is not affected by the load shedding.
