Background
In January 2024, Shandong Dingneng New Energy Company Ltd. said they planned to "explore the possibility" of constructing a "clean coal" power plant in the Matabeleland North province of Zimbabwe. The company is reportedly one of China's largest suppliers and manufacturers of steam turbines.[3]
In March 2024, representatives from Shandong Dingneng were in Zimbabwe to conduct a feasibility study on a 600 MW coal-fired power station. Zimbabwe's Energy and Power Development Minister stated that the company was on a "fact finding trip" and were scouting potential locations for the proposed plant, including Hwange or "elsewhere where they find good coal deposits and also proximity to the grid." The company was also reportedly seeking to build a 200 MW solar plant.[4]
