Sany Silicon Energy has officially begun construction of its first photovoltaic (PV) power plant project in Zimbabwe, marking a major milestone in the country’s push for sustainable energy solutions.

In a statement, Sany Silicon Energy said the project, a 10-megawatt solar power installation at Runtu Mining was expected to be complete in three months and to produce 18 million kwh annually improving Zimbabwe’s power crisis.

“The total installed capacity is 10MW, and the construction period is only 3 months. It is planned to be connected to the grid by the end of 2025, and it is expected to generate 18 million kWh of electricity annually, which will effectively alleviate the power shortage problem in Zimbabwe, ensure industrial and people’s livelihood electricity, and promote regional energy low-carbon transformation,” reads part of the statement.

The project, a first of its kind in Zimbabwe and the first in Africa to customize financing under the “EP+F” business model.

“This project is Sany Silicon Energy’s first photovoltaic power generation project in Zimbabwe, and it is also the first African project to customize the core financial demands of customers with the “EP+F” innovation model launched by Sany Silicon Energy. By providing a one-stop solution for design, procurement and financing, it significantly reduces the financial pressure of the owner and provides a replicable target for overseas new energy project cooperation,” reads part of the statement.

The solar plant will feature advanced 710W high-efficiency PV modules, developed and manufactured by Sany, along with cutting-edge inverters and durable, high-strength mounting structures designed to withstand Zimbabwe’s challenging environmental conditions.

Once operational, the plant will generate an estimated 18 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually—enough to significantly ease local power shortages, support industrial operations, and improve energy access for communities.

The company vowed to promote project construction with high standards to ensure on-time delivery and inject new impetus into Zimbabwe’s energy security and sustainable development.

As Zimbabwe grapples with persistent energy deficits, initiatives like the Runtu Mining solar project are expected to play a key role in accelerating the country’s green energy transition.
