ZPC managing director Noah Gwalior was quoted by newsday.co.zw as saying that the company’s application to generate power at Gairezi has been approved.
"ZPC are doing their best to make sure there is adequate power for Zimbabwe and this project will definitely contribute to a reduction in the power woes that have threatened industry and the nation at large," Gwalior added.
The completion of the hydro project is expected to be achieved in two years time.
ZPC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority which is a state-owned company that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity in Zimbabwe.
