Craft Properties (Pvt) Ltd a subsidiary of Craft Properties Holdings and an elite member of the World Confederation of Businesses have signed a mega solar projects deal worth 1.8 billion United States Dollars in Austin Texas United States of America, Zim Techreview reported.
Speaking from Austin Texas the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Craft Properties (Pvt) Ltd Mr Kudakwashe Taruberekera said, "We are pleased that we are here today for the signing ceremony of the first Memorandum of Understanding between Labacorp Power Company and Craft Properties (Pvt) Ltd Zimbabwe for proposed mega solar projects to be implemented in Zimbabwe. This day is a very special day for our organization and Zimbabwe at large, as it marks the beginning of a journey that is very crucial in our country of alleviating the shortage of electricity in Zimbabwe".
"Electricity use and access are strongly correlated with economic development. There is evidence that reliability of electricity supply is important for any nation's economic development and prosperity and Zimbabwe is no exception. Zimbabwe is a developing country and as such heavily relies on industries, agriculture, mining, manufacturing etc and for these sectors to function.
The provision of reliable electricity supply is fundamental. This is the reason why when we informed our government of this proposed Mega solar projects deal that will be born after the signing of the MOU today 27 November 2018, our government was very positive and approved the implementation of the project without hesitation. The government of Zimbabwe have pledged to give us the fully support necessary for the proposed solar project to succeed" said Mr. Taruberekera.
The proposed mega solar projects will have a capacity to produce a minimum of 900MW a day that will be fed into the national electricity grid. This will go a long way in supplementing the national electricity.
Mr. Taruberekera emphasised that this deal besides supplementing the country's electricity needs will bring the much needed foreign currency into the country and it will create employment as it is anticipated to employ more than 4000 people.
Mr Taruberekera said "We are currently here in Austin Texas where we have signed an MOU with our business partner and will have a series of meetings that I believe will culminate in the commencement of the implementation of the proposed mega solar projects early 2019 in Zimbabwe".
