ALL is set for a National Energy Compact workshop where stakeholders including the Government, the private sector and development partners will hold key deliberations.

Energy and Power Development Minister July Moyo will be the guest speaker while World Bank Zimbabwe country manager, Ms Eneida Fernandes, is also expected to deliver remarks.

Cabinet has approved the National Energy Compact for Zimbabwe, a move aimed at improving energy access.

The initiative forms part of the broader Dar es Salaam Declaration, which emerged from the African Heads of State Energy Summit held earlier this year.

The Energy Compact aligns with the ambitious Mission 300, which aims to ensure millions of African households gain access to electricity by 2030.

Zimbabwe has committed to electrifying 3,1 million households and achieving 70 percent access to clean cooking solutions within the same timeframe.
