Zimbabwe’s ferrochrome miners agree to build power plants

Zimbabwe’s ferrochrome miners, the nation’s biggest electricity consumers, have agreed to build their own power plants over the next two years as the government seeks to balance energy demand.

Zimbabwe’s energy ministry expects power demand to surge to 3 000 MW by 2026, with the bulk of the electricity being consumed by mining companies. The country currently generates about 1 400 MW to 1 500 MW of power, with any shortfall plugged by imports from neighboring countries.
