Energy

12 active opportunities

Zimbabwe’s energy sector is entering a structural transition driven by industrial demand, grid instability,
and the economics of distributed generation. Zimgerm focuses on opportunities where disciplined structuring,
verified off‑takers, and transparent governance convert energy deficits into bankable investment cases.

Why Energy Matters

Zimbabwe’s energy gap is both a constraint and an opportunity. Industrial users face high downtime,
diesel dependency, and escalating operating costs — creating strong demand for reliable, cost‑stable power.
German investors bring engineering depth, ESG discipline, and long‑term capital suited for structured energy assets.

• Industrial and commercial off‑takers seeking long‑term PPAs
• Strong solar resource and favourable LCOE economics
• Growing demand for storage, hybrid systems, and micro‑grids
• Clear opportunity for German technology and EPC partnerships

Risks & Mitigations

• Currency exposure: Mitigated through USD‑indexed PPAs and escrow structures.
• Off‑taker risk: Zimgerm verifies financials, consumption patterns, and payment history.
• Regulatory uncertainty: Projects aligned with existing licensing frameworks and ZERA approvals.
• Execution risk: EPC benchmarking, milestone‑based disbursement, and independent oversight.

Our Structuring Approach

Zimgerm applies a disciplined, investor‑grade methodology to energy projects, ensuring transparency,
bankability, and long‑term value retention for both investors and project owners.

• Verified off‑takers with audited demand profiles
• Standardised PPA templates aligned with institutional expectations
• Technical validation and EPC benchmarking
• Governance alignment and equity protection for project owners
• Clear exit pathways and long‑term asset management options
