Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) Holdings executive chairman Dr Sydney Gata has called for the crafting of laws that support investments in Zimbabwe and Zambia’s energy sector.
He was speaking in a panel discussion at the inaugural Zimbabwe-Zambia (Zim-Zam) Energy Projects Summit that is currently underway in Victoria Falls.
“We need to pass Acts of Parliament, we need special laws to support investment so that we achieve regional integration,” he said.
Dr Gata also said the Batoka Gorge Hydro-Electric Power Project, among others, has been delayed due to a lack of exhaustive feasibility studies.
The conference is running under the theme ‘Powering Zimbabwe and Zambia’s Sustainable Energy Future: Unlocking Opportunities in Renewables, Grid Modernisation and Energy Access.’
