Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls is buzzing this week as the SADC Sustainable Energy Week 2026 launches with a bold mission: to supercharge clean energy across Southern Africa. 🌍 The event, running through Friday, unites governments, businesses, and innovators under the theme "Driving Regional Economic Growth through Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency."
"We can’t afford to hit snooze on renewable energy," declared Zimbabwe’s Energy Minister July Moyo during his opening speech.

Key focuses this week include:
🤝 Strengthening cross-border energy regulations
🏭 Boosting private-sector investments in solar/wind infrastructure
🔋 Upgrading industrial efficiency to curb waste
