Econet Wireless Zimbabwe (Econet) is set to become one of the first companies in Zimbabwe to set up a photovoltaic power plant at its premises in Willowvale for own consumption.
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) yesterday said the telecommunications giant has applied to construct a 0, 45MW rooftop photovoltaic power plant.
Econet already has interests in the energy sector through its subsidiary Econet Solar which launched an energy power device a couple of years ago that was expected to light up most of rural Africa that lack access to reliable electricity supplies.
