Norconsult is proud to partner with ATC as Owner’s Engineer on three landmark solar projects that will add more than 170 MW of clean energy capacity to the grid:
- Centragrid – Zimbabwe’s first large-scale solar SAT plant. Located in Nyabira, the power plant is already feeding clean power into the grid.
- Centrachine – One of the largest solar PV projects in Zimbabwe, designed to deliver clean and reliable power for Afrochine ferrochrome smelter, the country’s largest electricity consumer, located in Selous.
- Centrawest – A project consisting of two sub-projects providing clean and reliable power to PPC Zimbabwe’s cement factories in Bulawayo and Colleen Bawn.
In Norconsult’s capacity as Owner’s Engineer Norconsult has provided technical advisory, design review, quality assurance, and construction monitoring to ensure these projects meet international standards and deliver long-term value.
Close collaboration with ATC’s team has been essential to achieving progress and building solutions that benefit communities and industries.
Shared Impact
Together, these projects will:
- Increase access to clean, reliable energy by adding over 170 MW of clean energy capacity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting grid stability.
- Power key industries, including ferrochrome smelting and cement production, which are vital for Zimbabwe’s economic growth.
- Create jobs and build local expertise, fostering sustainable development.
