Cassava Technologies’ solar subsidiary, <a href="https://dpaafrica.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Distributed Power Africa</a> (DPA) is set to build a 2.5MW solar installation after agreeing on a 25-year lease with Varun Beverages. 
The solar plant will be situated at Varun’s Pepsi Bottling factory in Harare and will reportedly produce 4.1GW of electricity annually, <a href="https://dotzedw.com/dpa-to-build-zims-biggest-rooftop-solar-plant-for-varun-beverages/?amp=1">dotzedw</a> reported citing Vijay Bahl, Chief Executive Officer of Varun Beverages Zimbabwe. Bahl said:
<blockquote>
We are pleased to partner with DPA on this milestone project. Implementing this solar-powered solution will effectively reduce our energy costs, enable us to manage consistent power supply and further pass the benefit of affordable Pepsi Products to Zimbabwe consumers. We are expecting a saving of approximately 2,500 tons of carbon emissions annually.
</blockquote>
The deal follows an agreement with Kenya’s Devki Group to install a 4.1MW solar installation earlier this month. 
The Cassava Technologies firm is pushing for energy independence on the continent to combat the shortfall by power utilities to meet demand.
The deal comes when the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA), the local power utility, has for years been failing to supply enough electricity.  
Over the years, the government has also awarded several licences to independent power producers (IPPs) to complement ZESA’s power generation, but very few have taken off and those that are producing electricity are struggling.

Cassava Technologies’ Subsidiary, DPA, Set To Build Zimbabwe's Biggest Rooftop Solar Plant

This article was sponsored by Distributed Power Africa (DPA)
<blockquote>DPA launches innovative technology for residential, the Huawei Smart Energy Fusion 
In pursuit of building synergies in energy technology, Distributed Power Africa (DPA), an Econet Global company is partnering with Huawei Technologies to transform African communities through smart batteries and solar.
This collaboration will culminate in the offering of the Huawei Smart Energy Fusion product to be used in hybrid solar solutions for the African market.
The partnership will expand DPA’s product offering by providing improved storage and will accelerate the uptake of their retail power offer of reliable, cost-effective energy for residential and small &amp; medium businesses.
The Huawei Smart Energy Fusion product will initially be rolled out in selected DPA markets, namely Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Kenya.
The supply of energy plus storage is fast becoming of high importance, especially in countries where unstable grid conditions exist.
Huawei is offering DPA a solution that ensures up to 30% more energy, a stable power supply and a financial saving for end users.
Given the ‘new normal’ brought on by the pandemic, there is now an increased requirement from home offices for a reliable power service to support digital communication.
The Huawei Smart Energy Fusion product brings customers convenience at a low cost to their daily business and lives.
DPA CEO Norman Moy said, “We are always looking to work with innovative partners like Huawei to bring smart systems and deliver best-fit energy solutions to meet the energy needs in our markets.”
He said renewable energy technology such as this is a step towards fully functional communities being built off-grid.
With the Huawei Smart Energy Fusion product, DPA will be able to increase power capacity for customers wanting to scale up.
The product is designed with string battery technology that is modular and is scalable from 5kW to 30kW on every stack, giving customers flexible investment.
It can be installed with or without solar panels and connected to either grid or generator to supply optimum power.
The technology comes with AI-powered active protection to safeguard the system against electrical faults with an inbuilt App to give customers an all-around better experience.
DPA will offer the product with their custom energy solutions on innovative and flexible financing to enable customers to choose solutions to suit their needs.

DPA And Huawei Partner On New Lithium Ion Battery Technology

Distributed Power Africa (DPA) has started deploying electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Zimbabwe as a way of encouraging the uptake of environmentally friendly cars.
This follows the government’s commitment late last year to work on a framework that promotes the use of EVs, as the country moves to embrace the emerging wave of clean energy in the transport sector.
Divyajeet Mahajan, DPA Zimbabwe’s Chief Executive Officer, said the company’s EV stations, which include both AC and DC fast chargers, will be rolled out along the country’s highways linking up major cities. He added that all charging stations will be open to the public. Mahajan said:
<blockquote>Our charging stations will ease a major concern for consumers looking to move to EVs, by removing the fear of running out of battery on their journey.
Electric vehicles have zero emissions and we are excited to add this innovation to our solar offering. We have grown our commercial and industrial energy deployments, and bundling our solar solutions with EV charging infrastructure will aid the transition to cleaner energy.</blockquote>
DPA has already installed the first three EV charging stations in Msasa, Harare, with 17 others currently being deployed at various sites across the country.
The renewable energy giant is also offering electric vehicle charging stations as an added service with their corporate and industrial solar installations, to encourage businesses to adopt EVs as they upgrade their fleets. The charging stations are available to both new and existing customers with a 50kW+ DPA solar solution.
As corporates increase the number of electric vehicles in their company fleets, it will contribute to a significant drop in their transportation and logistics costs.
Mahajan noted that the DC fast-charging stations have the capacity to charge the Vaya Africa’s 24kW Nissan Leaf EVs to 80% in under 30 minutes, and will greatly reduce waiting times for Vaya drivers and their customers.
Modern electric passenger vehicles, such as the VW eGolf and the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf, have a real-world range of about 250 km. With DPA’s fast chargers located at 150 km intervals along the country’s major highways, drivers will be enabled to do a round trip of the country comfortably.
Economic analysts said the increased use of EVs in Zimbabwe will not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also reduce the country’s foreign currency spent on fuel, internal combustion engine vehicle spare parts and engine oils. Zimbabwe imports fuel worth about US$1.2 billion annually.
EVs do not require constant parts and fluid changes on maintenance cycles, which makes them cheaper to own over time. According to Electric Vehicle Outlook 2020, the EV market is growing fast, with over seven million electric passenger vehicles and 500 000 e-buses on the road worldwide.

DPA Installs Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Across Zimbabwe

Econet founder, Dr Strive Masiyiwa has availed a new plan on which he intends to support the collapsed public health sector in Zimbabwe.
This comes after Masiyiwa through Higherlife Foundation run by his wife, Tsitsi Masiyiwa recently unveiled a package for striking health caregivers in public health institutions.
Higherlife Foundation announced a Z$10 million grant for the new campaign this Thursday saying that the‘Support Our Hospital’ campaign will seek to secure essential resources for hospitals. The foundation CEO Kennedy Mubaiwa said:
<blockquote>This initiative seeks to ensure that we resource our hospitals with the essential tools for the trade for doctors.
We are looking at a start-up kit for doctors that includes diagnostics sets, protective clothing, blood pressure machines, cannulas and most importantly, essential drugs and medicines critical to saving lives.</blockquote>
While Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Group has unveiled Z$10 million and smartphones to be used by doctors, worth an additional Z$1.5 million, the company’s subsidiaries have pledged to offer assistance.
Distributed Power Africa (DPA), Econet’s renewable energy arm, is to offer solar energy to selected public hospitals and clinics while Liquid Telecom will provide web connectivity, Vaya would provide free transport for doctors and nurses, along with water deliveries to some major public hospitals.
