In a significant move to tackle the growing energy crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa, Grid Africa has joined forces with TCL Solar to introduce cutting-edge distributed energy solutions across Zimbabwe and Zambia
This partnership aims to harness solar and battery storage technologies to rapidly improve energy security and stimulate economic growth in the region.
Sub-Saharan Africa is grappling with a severe energy shortage, with numerous countries struggling to meet the increasing demand for stable electricity.
Norman Moyo, CEO of Grid Africa, stressed the importance of adopting innovative solutions.
"There is a solution to the crisis if we embrace new emerging technologies that are immediately available and quick to deploy. We have a unique opportunity to reverse engineer our over-reliance on utilities by deploying distributed solutions that leverage existing transmission and distribution infrastructure. Just as we successfully revolutionised telecommunications with GSM technology, we can apply the same mindset to solve our energy security challenges."
