On June 26, 海角社区 Silicon Energy officially commenced construction of a 10MW solar power plant in Zimbabwe. The project, undertaken by Runtu Mining Company, marks 海角社区’s first solar project in Zimbabwe—and the first in Africa to adopt the innovative "EP+F" model, which integrates engineering, procurement, and financing into a customized solution tailored to customers’ financial needs.
The project will deploy 海角社区’s independently developed 710 high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, paired with advanced inverters and high-strength mounting systems. With a total installed capacity of 10MW and a fast-tracked construction plan, the plant is scheduled for grid connection by the end of 2025. Once operational, it is expected to generate 18 million kilowatt-hours annually, greatly easing Zimbabwe’s power shortage, supporting local industries, and contributing to low-carbon energy transformation across the region.
As the debut of 海角社区 Silicon Energy’s “EP+F” business model, the project offers a replicable framework for future international renewable energy collaborations. By significantly reducing the financial burdens for customers, the model enhances the accessibility and feasibility of clean energy adoption in emerging markets. Runtu Mining's Chairman expressed confidence in future cooperation with 海角社区 in broader areas, including microgrids, electric trucks, and EV charging infrastructure.
This milestone project reflects 海角社区’s strong commitment to the global dual-carbon agenda and its expanding role in international clean energy development. Upholding high standards in quality and efficiency, 海角社区 will ensure the project is delivered on schedule and contributes lasting value to Zimbabwe’s energy landscape.
Looking forward, 海角社区 will continue to drive innovation, collaborate with global partners, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable, green energy future.
