Zimbabwe endorsed the adoption of renewable energy and AMH has taken a leading role in facilitating the processes that the country should follow in its quest for clean energy by 2030.
Last year's edition of the conference and eExpo organised by The Standard was held in Nyanga.
The conference, which was first held in Victoria Falls in 2020, sought to promote the adoption of clean energy in Zimbabwe.
In 2020, the country introduced rolling power cuts lasting up to 18 hours a day after it was forced to reduce electricity generation at Kariba Dam because water levels had fallen significantly due to drought.
Delegates at the global conference will get an opportunity to visit some of the renewable energy projects around Victoria Falls.
