A GLIMPSE OF THE COUNTRY IN

RELATION TO THE PROJECT

Blessed with hot and sunny weather year round.

ZIMBABWE

• Daily weather forecast predictions are that Zimbabwe is amongst the sunniest places in Southern Africa due to the general low cloud cover in the sky.

• Zimbabwe has plenty of sunshine. On average 2871 hrs. per year, 7 hrs per day.

ZIMBABWE..3

• Given that it holds great promise for solar, with most parts of the country receiving plenty of sunshine – four to six hours a day for over 300 days a year – Zimbabwe should look to the sun to reap the benefits of its energy.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

• The energy crisis, which has engulfed Zimbawe for almost two decades, has been enormous and has largely contributed to the incidence of poverty by paralyzing industrial and commercial activities during this period.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION..2

• Zimbabwe Independence June 11, 2009 outlined how for many years Zimbabwe has been facing an extreme electricity shortage. This deficiency is multi-faceted, with causes that are financial, structural and socio-political.”

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION..3

• Zimbabwe Mail. August 13, 2014.pg 5: “Over-reliance on hydropower from Eskom has led to energy deficits for the entire Southern Africa region.”

• The Financial Mail reported on the 13th March 2014: “Electricity supply on the brink and Eskom's power crisis far from over.”

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION..4

• Africa’s Energy Crisis Worsens: Viable Clean Energy Alternatives Are Imperative: “There is no doubt that the present power crisis afflicting Zimbabwe will persist unless the government diversifies the energy sources in domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION..5

• NEWSDAY: February 3, 2015: “Clean energy experts believe solar energy is a solution to Zimbabwe’s power crisis and could go a long way in reducing the deficit as the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) is failing to cope with the ever-increasing national demand.”

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION...6

• Insufficient generation of power has led to widespread load shedding. Zesa Holdings Pvt Ltd: “Since 2007, the country experienced load shedding.” 

• Solar energy has the potential to generate virtually unlimited, essentially clean, carbon-free electricity.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION...7

• The Herald. 23 October, 2011 charted a great potential for developing solar in Zimbabwe: “The market is very vast, ranging from angry urban dwellers who have endured regular power cuts for several years, and the rural folk eager to see the light. In addition Zimbabwe has an abundance of sunlight which is being under-utilized.”

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION...8

• Consequently, establishments turn to economically and environmentally expensive diesel generators to meet their needs.

• Solar energy has the potential to generate virtually unlimited, essentially clean, carbon-free electricity.

ZIMBABWE’S POTENTIAL FOR SOLAR

ZIMBABWE’S POTENTIAL FOR SOLAR

• Zimbabwe’s irradiance (sun) gives solar power the potential to bring energy to virtually all corners of the country.

• The focus of the project is on harnessing renewable energy from the sun.

ZIMBABWE’S POTENTIAL FOR SOLAR ..2

• The envisaged five 60 MW Solar Power Stations will use photovoltaic (PV) technology to convert sunlight directly into electricity.

PROJECT’S BENEFICIARIES

• SolarPowerhouse Pvt and Phanini Holdings Ltd will deploy the technologies to three distinct market segments: industrial, commercial and communities

• The development of Zimbabwe’s solar power sector is a prerequisite for growth in other industries.

PROJECT’S BENEFICIARIES..2

• Environmentally conscious investors who would benefit from a long term investment in the solar energy as a regular, consistent solar power supply will attract foreign direct investment and entice international companies to establish operations in Zimbabwe.

PROJECT’S BENEFICIARIES..3

• About 70% of Zimbabwean nationals would be employed during construction, and 90% for operation and maintenance.

• The project will not only generate jobs, but would also provide technical capabilities to the local population.

PROJECT’S BENEFICIARIES..4

• Besides the creation of employment opportunities and the contribution to socio economic development, the project will ease the load-shedding pressure which the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) is under.

ROBUST CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI-MEGAWATT

SOLAR POWER STATIONS

One hour of sunshine on our planet, if stored adequately, can meet the global needs for an entire year.

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS

• A team of highly qualified engineers would be engaged to bring large-scale solar power to the forefront of the energy sector to Zimbabwe.

• The solar power stations would be the most economic form of the solar electricity generation.

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS..2

• They will generate electricity so that remote and rural parts can enjoy electricity, in the process benefit households of rural poor families below the poverty line.

• Solar thermal power, is a predictable, reliable and renewable alternative to natural gas "peakers"

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS..3

• The peak demand period - during the hottest part of the day, when air conditioners are running in the office and home - coincides with the period of time when the solar thermal power plants are at peak production.

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS..4

• The energy from the Solar Thermal Power Stations is cost effective because it has replaced the most expensive energy sources like oil and natural gas.

• Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is renewable (unlike gas, oil and coal), and this means that Zimbabwe will never run out of it.

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS..5

• Solar energy (the sun) is free and is abundant therefore there is no need to buy it. The government of Zimbabwe would only have to pay for the solar thermal power stations to collect the sunshine.

THE 60 MW SOLAR POWER STATIONS..6

• Friendly to the Ozone Layer: “Unlike many traditional forms of electrical generations, Solar Energy does not pollute the environment by releasing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide or mercury into the atmosphere.”

THE ROBUST CONSTRUCTION OF THE

MULTI-MEGAWATT SOLAR POWER STATIONS

IN ZIMBABWE WILL GENERATE POWER FOR

THE FOLLOWING:

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION

• For the number of Zimbabweans without access to electricity to be significantly reduced, priority must be placed on electrification of the rural areas currently cut off from the national grid. These off-grid communities host a huge number of Zimbabweans who have no access to power supply.

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..2

• The World Bank states that over 1.4 billion people worldwide have no access to electricity.

• The World Bank estimates: “71% of Zimbabweans live in rural areas with less than 3% electricity access. There is, therefore, need for rural electrification to cover the biggest percentage of Zimbabwe’s population.”

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..3

• Zimbabwe’s Rural Electrification Programme: “Government recognises that rural electrification is a major pillar in enhancing socio – economic development in rural communities.”

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..4

• The Rural Electrification Fund (REF) was established through an Act of Parliament: “It resulted in the establishment of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) to spearhead rapid and equitable electrification of rural areas in Zimbabwe.”

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..5

• Zimbabwe’s Rural Electrification Strategy and Plan:“To position the electrification development program on a path to progressively advance towards achievement of universal electrification by the year 2040.”

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..6

• The Government’s strategy is to achieve a rural electrification access of 22% (i.e. consumers who will be utilizing electricity in their homes, businesses or institutions) by 2022 from the current level of about less than 3%.

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..7

• The Rural Electrification Strategy is consistent with the existing policy of the Government of Zimbabwe, which ensures the displacement of paraffin lighting in all rural Zimbabweans homes by 2030.

• The Alliance for Rural Electrification: “Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 99.6% of the un-electrified population in Africa.”

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..8

• A village is deemed electrified if the distribution infrastructure has been set up with minimum community facilities and 10% of the households are electrified.

• Even households that are electrified in the villages are prone to blackouts.

OPTIONS FOR RURAL ELECTRIFICATION..9

• Furthermore, last mile electrification is often a challenge.

• Households that are un-electrified and use paraffin for lighting make up about 62% of the total number of rural households.

• Paraffin pollutes, adversely affects the health of users, and is potentially hazardous.

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS

• SolarPowerHouse Pvt and Phanini Holdings would enable Municipalities in Zimbabwe to look towards solar to save energy costs, and meet their environmental sustainability goals.

• Solar power street lights would offer a cost-effective alternative source of energy.

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS..2

• SolarPowerHouse Pvt and Phanini Holdings would through this development bring financial relief for municipalities which currently spends lots of money on electricity bills.

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS..3

• An international leading solar street light designer, fabricator, supplier and installer of varied solar Street Lights would be brought on board.

• The Solar Street Lights are extremely reliable and are capable of working from dusk to dawn. Solar Street Lights are used to illuminate streets.

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS..4

• They look similar to other street lights, except that they are powered by solar energy, and the same pole that holds the LED street lights also holds the solar panel and other components.

Solar Street Lights have lower power consumption

Higher power, higher intensity.

SOLAR POWER STREET LIGHTS..5

Solar Street Lights save all your electricity costs. Save electric transformer and cable costs. Free maintenance.

Environmental impact – Eliminate hazardous disposal.

Longer lifespan (25-years)

SOLAR HEAT PROCESSING FOR THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

• As one way of addressing gross inequalities, the Zimbabwean Government established a small-holder targeted Dairy Development Programme (DDP) in 1983. The major objective of the programme was to use smallholder dairying, through enhanced milk production and marketing, as a tool for rural development.

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY..2

• According to the Financial Gazette raw milk production has continued to stabilise since 2009, official figures have revealed. Figures released by the Dairy Association of Zimbabwe in the Treasury State of the Economy Report, summarising formal milk production from 2010 to 2014 shows that between January and May this year, the country produced 13, 1 million litres of milk.

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY..3

• Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union president, Wonder Chabikwa expressed confidence that they were poised for growth: "If Government, farmers and processors work together , raw milk production is set to increase to the extent that  Zimbabwe will be self-sustainable as well as resuming exports of dairy products,"

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY…4

• The dairy business in Zimbabwe is likely to pasteurize more than 25,000 liters of milk per day.

• In the milk industry, thermal energy is used for pasteurization (60–85°C) and sterilization (130–150°C) processes.

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY…5

• Drying of milk powder, with high constant energy required, is another important demand.

• During production, milk and whey are spray-dried in huge towers with air that is heated from 60°C to 180°C.

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY…6

• The use of solar heat processing can save dairy plants about 75 kg of furnace oil a day.

• The energy saved daily can be about 840 kWh 27.

SOLAR AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY…7

• If the dairy industry in Zimbabwe were to use solar energy to offset some of their fossil fuel consumption in pasteurization, about 269 million kWh of energy consumption could be decreased and 177 million kg of CO2 could be abated annually for the lifetime of the plant.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS

• Almost 70% of the African continent’s populations depend on agriculture either directly or indirectly, and Zimbabwe is no exception.

• 44% of 140 million sown hectares in the sugar industry depends on irrigation, the rest relies on unpredictable rains. Irrigation, therefore, is essential for good crop yield.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..2

• 65% of the sugar produced in Zimbabwe is for the domestic market and the remainder is exported to the region, United States and to the European Union. Zimbabwe’s market to the EU is secure for the five years from September 2010 to 2015.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..3

• Most electrical consumption in the sugar sector goes towards operating pump sets for irrigation.

• In 2006–7, Africa’s agricultural sector accounted for 52% of the total electricity consumption, up from 30% in the 1970s.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..4

• AGRIBUSINESS: “Until domestic power-generating capacity is expanded, SADC remains vulnerable to output shortfalls in South Africa.”

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..5

• ESI AFRICA. COM observed that Eskom’s tariff increase will devastate the sugar industry in Southern Africa: “Proposed tariff increases will render sugar cane farming under electricity diesel generated irrigation uncompetitive.”

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..6

• We shall look at how the proposed Eskom Electricity Price increase of 35% per annum for three years adversely affects the Mpumalanga Cane Growers Association in neighbouring South Africa.

• Mpumalanga has 1350 Small Scale Growers (SSG) producing roughly 650 000 tonnes off 10 000 hectares.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..7

• These SSG are marginal producers and MpCGA and Tsb Sugar Ltd have initiated a project to address their sustainability.

• SSG are already failing to keep up with the tariff hikes.

• The proposed tariff increases will result in the failure of this entire initiative and the collapse of the sector.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..8

• Results of tariff increase and impact on the sustainability of the industry.

Average electricity costs range between R1500 – R2000/ha. The proposed increases will raise costs to R4950/ha. Income projections cannot keep up with cost increases.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..9

Results of tariff increase affecting Caner Supply:

Without significant funds for capital improvements economic growth in the sector will be affected.

Small Scale Growers will be severely affected by the increase in tariff.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..10

35% Eskom tariff hikes over 3 years will:

Reduce farmers returns to unsustainable levels.

Ensure the collapse of the 1350 Small Scale Farmers in the Nkomazi region who farm 10 000ha.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..11

Job losses and a decline into poverty will result as one of the only opportunities to rise above poverty is withdrawn.

The proposed increases which will raise costs to R4950/ha is a lot of money to spend on electricity. On the other hand Eskom is also overloaded.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..12

There are millions of irrigation pump sets in Africa, of the majority are run on diesel and the rest are grid-based. Water demand for irrigation is correlated to bright sunny days. Hence, solar-based pumps make sense.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..13

• The robust construction of a similar MW Solar Power Station in Mpumalanga can come in the mix to reduce electricity costs and normalize profit margins for the SSG.

SOLAR-PV-BASED IRRIGATION PUMP SETS..14

• Solar energy is a viable option for meeting the energy demand of the average Zimbabwean farmer. Solar power generated from sunlight is a viable solution for irrigating sugar cane fields:

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

• According to AGRICULTURE IN ZIMBABWE: “The country’s climate and soil types facilitate the production of tropical and temperate crops, as wells as fruits and vegetables. Fruits grown in Zimbabwe include apples, pears, and quinces and peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots Wild Loquat and marula.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..2

• Annually about 35% of all agricultural produce worth millions goes to waste during the post-harvest period. The loss is anywhere from 40% for perishables (fruits and vegetables).

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..3

• Fossil-fuel-fired dryers (commonly used in the food processing industry) is used to dry large quantities of produce in a short period of time.

• However, the above entails a significant initial investment and on-going fuel costs, as well as considerable damage to the environment.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..4

• Drying or process heat is crucial in any food processing industry. For example, solar dried tomatoes, bananas, peaches and mango pulp have great potential in a global market.

• The use of a solar dryer is more economically viable for a multiple crop system since it can be used only for a few weeks after the harvest for any particular crop.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..5

• Solar drying technology has the potential of saving considerable amounts of conventional energy in a variety of industrial establishments.

• Solar agricultural drying has received increased attention in recent years as it is more economical than fossil-fuel-based.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..6

• The twin objectives of solar agricultural drying, which are to reduce agricultural wastage through remote independent solar drying (with innovative financial mechanisms and institutional structure) and to reduce the energy consumption through solar air heating systems is advocated.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..7

• Hence, suitable business models needs to be created for dissemination of solar dryers to individual (or groups of) farmers.

SOLAR DRYING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES..8

• Zimbabwe can consider growing fruits on a large scale to be processed as dried fruits by solar, as these have a have great potential in a global market.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF SOLAR ROOFTOP PV SYSTEMS

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF SOLAR ROOFTOP PV SYSTEMS

• Sustaining Zimbabwe’s burgeoning urbanization is a formidable challenge faced today.

• Most buildings in urban cities are highly electricity intensive; they consume large amounts of power for lighting and air-conditioning applications.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF SOLAR ROOFTOP PV

SYSTEMS ..2

• In Zimbabwe, the application of solar PV has particular significance given the condition of its transmission and distribution infrastructure – high losses, poor power quality and frequent load shedding.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF SOLAR ROOFTOP PV

SYSTEMS ..3

• Most buildings, public, private and commercial (for example, malls, hotels, hospitals and nursing homes), have diesel generators for back-up in case of load shedding by the utility.

• Given environmental considerations, the use of diesel should be minimized.

ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF SOLAR ROOFTOP PV

SYSTEMS ..4

• There is abundant opportunity to use rooftop or building-mounted solar PV systems to generate electricity and thereby reduce the consumption of diesel.

• due to the intermittent supply of hydro power and grid outages, diesel–solar PV hybrid models could be potential solutions.

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING

• In Zimbabwe where the cost of electricity is very high, the solar powered air conditioners should be used as an option to save energy and also to reduce the electricity costs. Not only are they simple, but they are also very dependable.

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING..2

• Conventional air conditioners running at the hottest points of the day contribute to power grid demands that often lead to outages.

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING…3

• Solar air conditioning units offer environmental benefits including lower grid demand and load shifting during peak usage, reduced electricity costs, fewer power outages, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING…4

• Unlike a grid powered air condition, a Solar powered Air Conditioner is totally free from the bumps and spikes in electricity generation that produce blackouts.

• Blackouts denies you the benefits of an Air Conditioning when you need it the most – during hot and muggy days!

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING…5

• A solar-assisted air condition requires less frequent maintenance than conventional power-hungry grid tied air conditions.

SOLAR ASSISTED AIR CONDITIONING…6

• Finally, solar air conditions can work anywhere, even in remote places.  Since these units are totally self-contained, independent of a power utility company, Zimbabweans can pretty much have air conditioning anywhere they want!

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS

• BuddeComm, an independent research and consultancy company, focusing on the telecommunications market and its role within the digital economy states: “The telecom sector in Zimbabwe has shown considerable promise. Mobile penetration has increased more than seven-fold within 4-years and broke the 100% penetration barrier in 2013.”

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..2

• The three mobile networks Econet, NetOne and Telecel Zimbabwe are investing in network upgrades to support data services and their fast-expanding m-commerce and m-banking facilities.

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..3

• There is also the broadcast industry to reckon with: “The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation and the ZBC-TV.

PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..4

• The mobile and phone industries, as well as the broadcast industry in Zimbabwe have created towers, each equipped with diesel generators of 3 to 5 kW capacity depending on the number of operators housed on the towers.

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..5

• The towers are energy intensive since they operate non-stop.

• Given that these towers are in rural areas and any new additions are likely to be there as well, diesel consumption will be inevitable given the grid challenges.

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..6

• Roughly about 2 billion litres of diesel is consumed annually, amounting to around 4.5 million tons of poisonous CO2 emissions.

SOLAR PV FOR TELECOM TOWERS..7

SolarPowerHouse Pvt and Phanini Holdings through the construction of the five 60 MW Solar Power Stations will enable the telecom and broadcast industries in Zimbabwe to replace diesel for telecom towers with solar PV .
