TCL Solar and Grid Africa announce strategic partnership

In a groundbreaking move to address the urgent energy crisis facing Sub-Saharan Africa, Grid Africa and TCL Solar have announced a strategic partnership aimed at deploying innovative distributed energy solutions across Zimbabwe and Zambia.

This collaboration seeks to leverage emerging solar and battery storage technologies to rapidly enhance regional energy security and accelerate economic development.

Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing an unprecedented energy deficit, with many countries struggling to meet the growing demand for reliable power. Norman Moyo, CEO of Grid Africa, emphasized the importance of embracing innovative solutions: « There is a solution to the crisis if we embrace new emerging technologies that are immediately available and quick to deploy. We have a unique opportunity to reverse engineer our over-reliance on utilities by deploying distributed solutions that leverage existing transmission and distribution infrastructure. Just as we successfully revolutionized telecommunications with GSM technology, we can apply the same mindset to solve our energy security challenges. »
