"Before long, Zimbabwe must have a robust gas industry to power its agriculture and meet its energy needs," the President said. "In respect of gas and hydroelectricity, the sister Republic of Mozambique offers huge opportunities both for immediately augmenting our own power supply through more imports, and, in the medium to long term, through new energy

A Guide for Making an Energy-Self-Sufficient Home

A self-sufficient home is a house that can generate enough power to function without an external power supply. It usually uses renewable energy (such as solar power) and an energy storage system for powering lights and appliances, heating and cooling, which makes it environment-friendly and highly energy-efficient.
