Zimbabwe’s Hidden Solar Power: ZERA’s Nationwide Audit Uncovers a New Energy Era
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has launched a groundbreaking initiative to measure household solar power across the country. This move aims to uncover unrecorded electricity and reshape national energy planning for a solar-driven future.

| Uncovering Zimbabwe’s Solar Secrets: ZERA’s Mission to Track Every Home’s Power |
A Silent Solar Revolution
Solar power adoption in Zimbabwe has skyrocketed. Homes once using solar as backup now rely on it as a primary source. ZERA’s audit is the first step toward understanding this vast, unrecorded energy network.
This hidden solar capacity represents a new national resource waiting to be strategically utilized.
Why ZERA Is Conducting This Audit
The survey aims to determine electrification rates, support energy planning, and explore integration of household solar systems with the national grid.
Accurate measurement will allow the government to plan grid expansions and reward solar contributors effectively.
The Disconnect Between Solar Homes and the National Grid
Many homes generate solar electricity but remain disconnected from the national grid, creating “energy islands.” This limits the nation’s ability to fully capitalize on distributed renewable energy.
Without proper grid connections, excess solar power cannot feed back into the national system.
Net Metering and Grid Integration
Net metering allows households to feed surplus solar energy back into the grid in exchange for credits. Around 75MW is already being contributed, setting the stage for a new distributed energy model.
Zimbabweans are becoming “prosumers,” shaping both national electricity supply and policy.
Implications for Zimbabwe’s Energy Future
ZERA’s audit provides critical data for infrastructure planning, policy-making, and expansion of clean energy initiatives, signaling that the future of Zimbabwe’s energy is distributed and solar-powered.
Accurate measurement ensures homes and businesses are part of the country’s renewable energy roadmap.
