Zimbabwe is fortunate to be rich in sunshine, and Primo Solar aims to maximize its potential by rolling out Solar PV farms across the country
Wind power is limited to a few regions in Zimbabwe due to its inland location. However, wind assessments are underway nationwide to evaluate its potential. Primo Wind remains optimistic about making this vision a reality
Hydropower will be a key component of Primo’s energy mix. While its output is subject to climatic conditions and may fluctuate seasonally, it remains a crucial part of Primo Hydro’s strategy by harnessing the natural flow of rivers to produce clean energy
Electric vehicles are gaining rapid adoption globally, with Africa beginning to follow. Primo aims to build a national charging footprint that enables this shift and accelerates a sustainable green transition through reliable power and infrastructure
Hydrogen (H2) is a very interesting prospect for Primo, potentially it could be one of the cheapest as well as the cleanest energy sources available. Although it requires significant investment in technology, it is a crucial prospect for Primo, and we are committed to making it a reality
Battery Storage plays a critical role in the infrastructure of any grid. It enhances network support, stabilises the grid, and serves as a reliable emergency backup solution, though it entails significant start-up costs. Primo is considering incorporating BESS into its energy mix to enhance grid reliability
Smart prepayment meters provide an effective way for users to manage their energy consumption, helping them to be mindful of how and when they use energy in order to save this valuable resource while keeping costs down. Primo offers state-of-the-art technology that enables net metering, allowing consumers to gain from their investment by feeding surplus energy generated from their rooftops back into the grid
Primo has made significant investments in smart grid technology, IoT-SCADA systems, artificial intelligence (AI), business intelligence (BI), and meter data management systems (MDMS) to optimize supply capabilities and help customers secure the most advantageous tariffs.
Although Primo Power does not intend to depend on thermal energy, the current power deficit across the Southern African region leaves little choice but to utilize it as its last resort. Primo Power is committed to phasing it out from its energy mix by 2030
Gas presents a promising option for power generation in Zimbabwe, though long-term investment is required to extract this natural resource and ensure its economic viability. Primo is actively exploring this opportunity
Primo is committed to Environmental and Social Responsibility and aims to give back to the communities where it implements its projects. Primo Power will collaborate with these communities to provide education and support for initiatives focused on environmental protection and the development of sustainable ecosystems.
