Webinar: Powering Zimbabwe’s mines – closing the energy gap, enabling energy continuity and cost certainty

As Zimbabwe seeks to unlock greater value from its mineral resources through increased production, beneficiation, and industrialisation, reliable and affordable energy has become one of the most critical enablers of growth.

Date & Time: Thursday 15 October; 1pm (SA Time)

Mining remains one of the country’s largest energy consumers, yet power shortages, grid constraints and rising operational costs continue to impact productivity, project development, and investment decisions.

At the same time, opportunities are emerging through captive power generation, renewable energy projects, wheeling arrangements, battery storage and innovative financing models that can help mining companies secure reliable and cost-effective power to support future growth, processing and beneficiation activities.

This webinar will bring together mining and energy stakeholders to discuss practical solutions for powering Zimbabwe’s mining future and explore the investments, partnerships, and policy frameworks needed to close the energy gap.

Key discussions themes for Powering Zimbabwe’s Mines webinar

• How are current power constraints impacting mining production, project development and future investment decisions?
• What role can captive power, renewable energy and battery storage play in securing reliable electricity supply for large energy users?
• What lessons can Zimbabwe learn from successful mining-energy partnerships elsewhere in Africa?
• How important is energy security in driving value addition, beneficiation, mineral processing and industrialisation?
• What policy, regulatory and investment frameworks are needed to support energy projects serving the mining sector?
• How can mining companies, utilities, financiers and energy developers collaborate more effectively to accelerate energy project delivery and improve energy security across the mining sector?
