Zimbabwe's Rural Electrification Agency (REA) has electrified 175 rural institutions in the first quarter of 2026, according to the latest REA report. This initiative is part of the government's ongoing efforts to expand access to electricity in disadvantaged communities across the country.
The electrified institutions include schools, clinics, and community centers, which will benefit from improved services and economic opportunities. The REA has not yet released a detailed breakdown of the institutions or their locations.
This development aligns with Zimbabwe's national goal of achieving universal access to electricity by 2030. The government has been investing in renewable energy projects, including solar mini-grids, to reach remote areas.
