18 September 2014, Harare – Swiss energy and communications company Meeco Group, through its Zimbabwean subsidiary, Our Sun Energy, has signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Zimbabwe National Water Authority to provide solar power to the parastatal’s existing water treatment facilities across the country.
The deal is part of a Public-Private Partnership arrangement and will see the Swiss company eventually take over the designing, construction and operation of the water treatment plants controlled by the parastatal.
Mhuriro added that in the long-term, the company was aiming at connecting high-end solar modules with water pumping and irrigation solutions which are aimed at remote off-grid areas.
