TCL Solar And Grid Africa Join Forces To Speed Up Clean Energy Access In Sub-Saharan Africa

In an important step towards solving the growing energy crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa, Grid Africa and TCL Solar have entered into a strategic partnership to deliver innovative distributed energy solutions in Zimbabwe and Zambia. This collaboration will focus on deploying advanced solar power systems combined with modern battery storage technology to strengthen energy access and reliability in the region.

By harnessing clean and sustainable energy, the partnership aims to not only improve the stability of the local power supply but also support long-term economic growth. The project is expected to play a key role in boosting regional energy security, reducing dependency on outdated or unreliable power infrastructure, and creating new opportunities for development in both countries.

Sub-Saharan Africa is facing a big energy shortage. Many countries can’t keep up with the growing need for steady electricity. Norman Moyo, the CEO of Grid Africa, said it’s important to start using new and creative ways to solve this problem. He said, “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.”
