Hakwata, Chipinge District, 3 October 2024 - In a landmark moment for rural development, a 200-kW solar mini-grid and green village model was commissioned in Hakwata village, bringing clean, reliable electricity to over 100 homes and businesses for the first time. 


This innovative project, valued at almost US$2 million, marks a significant leap towards Zimbabwe's sustainable energy goals.

A New Dawn for Hakwata Village

His Excellency President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, who commissioned the project, highlighted the urgent need for increased energy access in rural areas. "The electricity access rate is 62%, with the grid electricity access rate in rural areas being around 23.4%. This figure is worryingly low, which means that Government and its development partners have to work together to increase access to modern energy in rural communities,” he stated.

He further expressed gratitude to the project's partners, saying, “We want to thank our partners in the CAWEP (FCDO and UNDP) for their assistance in achieving our goal of universal access to sustainable and modern energy in Zimbabwe by 2030."

Empowering Communities

Currently at 20% utilization, the solar mini-grid powers 85 homes, 18 businesses, a school, a clinic, and 3 community boreholes, with ample capacity for future growth. Dr. Ayodele Odusola, UNDP Resident Representative, emphasized the broader impact: "This solar mini-grid is not just providing electricity; it is powering dreams, fostering equality, and catalyzing sustainable development across multiple fronts."

Transformative Impact

The project's impact on local livelihoods is already evident. Ms. Hamunyari Muzvuzvu, a local shopkeeper, shared her experience: "Before, I used expensive gas to power my shop's fridges. Now, with the solar mini-grid, I'm spending less on energy and earning more. I've even expanded my business to sell kitchen appliances that use electricity. This project has truly transformed my life and business."

A Collaborative Effort

The CAWEP initiative is a result of a strong partnership between the British Government, the Government of Zimbabwe, and UNDP. This US$13.6 million collaboration, funded by the British, aims to bring sustainable development to often-overlooked and remote rural areas. British Ambassador H.E. Pete Vowles remarked, "Energy access is a fundamental right and key to economic growth. We're committed to partnering with the Government of Zimbabwe on clean energy innovation and helping to unlock climate finance."

Comprehensive Community Support

Beyond the mini-grid, CAWEP has provided the Hakwata community with:
  1. 100 solar home kits for lighting in vulnerable households.
  2. 90 biogas digesters for clean cooking.
  3. An automated weather station for real-time weather and climate information.
  4. 30 solar street lights.

This comprehensive approach is expected to significantly boost local economic activity, improve livelihoods, and enhance quality of life, particularly for women and girls. It serves as a model for future rural electrification efforts across Zimbabwe.

Looking Ahead

Similar climate adaptation projects are underway in Binga, Insiza, and Chivi Districts, focusing on renewable energy, irrigation schemes, and improved water access. These initiatives are part of the broader CAWEP project, which runs from 2022 to 2025.

Solar Mini-Grid Lights Up Remote Zimbabwe Village -  Transforming Lives

The commissioning of the solar mini-grid in Hakwata village is a testament to the power of sustainable energy solutions in transforming lives and fostering development. As Zimbabwe continues to pursue its goal of universal energy access by 2030, projects like these will play a crucial role in bridging the energy gap and promoting economic growth.
