Zimbabwe sent important officials to Washington, D.C., for the Powering Africa Summit 2025. These leaders hope to bring energy investors back home. July Moyo from Energy and Power Development joined Professor Mthuli Ncube, who handles Finance and Investment. The delegation aims to boost their country's power sector through new partnerships.
The summit focuses on creating lasting energy answers for Africa's growing industries. Minister Moyo asked American officials to encourage their companies to invest in Zimbabwe. He mentioned they prepared everything needed for business success. Moyo also pushed for natural gas development as a major opportunity.
The minister pointed out several energy possibilities beyond gas. He talked about wind projects, solar farms, and the planned Batoka Gorge water power station. Thermal power plants also made his list of potential investment areas. Zimbabwe offers these options to address its electricity needs.
Professor Ncube explained the benefits for investors choosing Zimbabwe energy projects. The government provides fair rates, easy currency exchange, and guarantees for power purchase deals. Certain projects receive special national status and asset classifications. These advantages make Zimbabwe's energy sector more attractive for foreign money.
