Zimbabwe to work with Russia, IAEA to establish nuclear energy

A solar power station at Bindura Provincial Hospital in Bindura, Zimbabwe, in October 2024 built by the Zimbabwean government with financing from the United Nations is an example of efforts to reduce demand from the national electric grid.

Zimbabwe is working with the International Atomic Energy Agency and Russian investors to establish nuclear energy as part of its efforts to end the country’s chronic power shortages, government officials said Thursday.
