The Chiredzi Solar Power Station is a Шаблон:Convert solar power plant under development in Zimbabwe. The project is rated as one of the largest single investment by a local company in Masvingo Province, since independence in 1980.[1]

Location

The power station is located in Chiredzi District, in Masvingo Province, along the Шаблон:Convert NgunduTriangle Road.[2] It would sit on Шаблон:Convert of land, about Шаблон:Convert, by road, east of the town of Ngundu and approximately Шаблон:Convert west of the town of Triangle.[1] Triangle is located about Шаблон:Convert west of Chiredzi, the district headquarters.[3]

Overview

The power station is designed to have capacity of 90 megawatts, developed in two phases of 45 megawatts each. Its output is expected to be sold directly to the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) for integration into the national grid, under a long-term power purchase agreement.[1]

Developers

The power station is being developed by a Zimbabwean power development consortium called Triangle Solar System (TSS). TSS is headed by Paradzai Chakona, a businessman and area member of parliament and was granted a generation licence on 22 May 2020 by the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA).[1][4]

Construction costs, and commissioning

The construction costs have been budgeted at US$88.1 million. This investment would cover land acquisition, land preparation, hardware, infrastructure, grid connection and civil works. The project is expected to create in excess of 300 temporary and permanent jobs.[1][4]

If everything goes as planned, construction would begin in September 2020, with plant commissioning planned for the first half of 2021. TSS plans to build other solar power plants in the country, to alleviate the ongoing power shortage in Zimbabwe.[1][4]
