Victoria Falls Set to Go Green with $10 Million Solar Plant

Victoria Falls is set to take a significant step towards sustainability with the nearing completion of a $10 million solar plant, expected to enhance Zimbabwe’s renewable energy capacity. This project, which has been in development for some time, will play a key role in stabilizing the local power grid and providing a reliable energy source for the region.

The solar plant is poised to deliver a major boost to Victoria Falls’ tourism industry, which has faced challenges due to frequent power outages in recent years. The reliable power supply is expected to foster growth in local businesses, create new job opportunities, and support the overall economic development of the area.

Additionally, the plant will have a positive environmental impact by reducing Zimbabwe’s dependence on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. This move aligns with the country’s broader commitment to sustainable development and reducing its carbon footprint.

With the commissioning of the solar plant on the horizon, both residents and businesses in Victoria Falls are eagerly anticipating the improved power supply and the benefits it will bring to the community. The project represents a significant advancement for Zimbabwe’s renewable energy sector and a promising development for the local economy and environment.
