The National Energy Compact workshop, where the Government, private sector and development partners will engage in a crucial dialogue on energy policy and planning, is primed to commence.

Energy and Power Development Minister, July Moyo, is expected to grace the occasion as the keynote speaker, with World Bank Zimbabwe country manager Ms Eneida Fernandes also set to share her insights on the matter.

The workshop, which promises to be a pivotal platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas and strategise for Zimbabwe’s energy future, is poised to commence in the near future.

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.
