Powering Mines: C&I Energy+Storage Zimbabwe tackles the power challenge behind mining growth

APO Group - Africa-Newsroom: latest news releases | 28-09-2026 03:04pm |

Zimbabwe's mining sector is entering a period of growing electricity demand, with the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe forecasting that consumption could rise from approximately 1,000MW today to more than 1,500MW within the next 12 months, driven by mine expansions and new mineral processing facilities. In this context, VUKA Group is launching the C&I Energy + Storage Summit Zimbabwe on 17 November 2027, a dedicated pre-conference programme co-located with Zimbabwe Mining Week 2026 (17-19 November 2026) at the Rainbow Towers Hotel & Conference Centre in Harare. The programme will bring mines, utilities, regulators, financiers, developers, OEMs, and EPCs together to address how Zimbabwe can secure the reliable and bankable power required for the next phase of mining growth. Rather than focusing only on Zimbabwe's electricity constraints, the programme will examine the practicalities of bringing power to mines.
