Tout a commencé dans le secteur des télécommunications avec l'arrivée de StarLink, mettant fin au monopole d'Econet et de Netone. Ces entreprises ont également réagi radicalement en proposant des solutions moins coûteuses, ce qu'elles auraient pu faire auparavant, mais n'ont pas fait faute d'alternative. La même stratégie s'applique désormais au secteur de l'énergie, afin de mettre fin à un monopole dont la prestation de services est souvent défaillante. Le Zimbabwe est sur le point de mettre fin au monopole de ZESA, permettant désormais aux entreprises privées d'acheter et de vendre de l'électricité aux citoyens. Espérons que cela aura le même impact que StarLink. Voici tout ce que vous devez savoir.

By now it’s common knowledge that electricity has been a major problem in Zimbabwe. In recent times the problem seems to be getting worse with no end in sight, Zimbabweans have now resorted to alternative solutions for electricity generation with solar being top of the list. Solar energy is gaining popularity as a renewable power source for homes and businesses worldwide but it is gaining different kind of traction in Zimbabwe as Zesa becomes more and more unreliable. At the heart of this technology are solar panels, which come in four distinct varieties, each with unique characteristics and applications so take a minute to learn exactly which type you should buy so you make an informed decision.

For as long as i can remember, i have only known one company controlling the generation and distribution of Electricity in Zimbabwe. Zesa Holdings through it’s subsidiaries , the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) and the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), has been the only licensed company. To say that they haven’t been delivering is an understatement, with Zimbabweans plunged into darkness and in most severe cases going 18 to 21 hours without electricity a few years back when the situation reached a critical point but all this is soon to change as private entities in Zimbabwe be licensed to generate, distribute, and transmit electricity across the country to tackle this crisis. This trend of licensing private players has been spreading in different industries in Zimbabwe and it’s safe to say it’s working one notable sector as we mentioned in previous articles is the telecommunications sector. But it’s not all good news though…
