Energy Management
 Energy Audits: DELTA Graniteside, How Mine, Hwange Colliery Company, DELTA
Belmont, Mimosa Mining Company, Goldstar, Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe
(CAAZ), ZIMASCO, Turnall Fibre, DELTA Lagers, Crystal Candy etc.
 Energy Audits in 25 SMEs for the energy efficiency policy draft
 Carbon Footprint Determination: Tobacco Processing Zimbabwe, Olivine Industries,
 National Energy Efficiency Audit Project (NEEA)
 Steam system Assessment for Olivine Industries.

Renewable Energy
 Afrika Oracle Solar Power Generation Project: The project involves the design and
development of a 25MW Solar PV power plant. SIRDC successfully conducted the
Feasibility Studies (Technical and Financial), Environmental Impact Assessment, license
application and technical designs of the power plant.
 Distributed Renewable Energy Skills Survey: ETI conducted the survey for the
African Development Bank (AfDB), a project which aimed to identify skills gap in
distributed renewable energy space for the purpose of recognizing intervention areas for
the bank.
 Solar System Design and Installation: The scope of the project was to design and
install off- grid solar photovoltaic systems for CAMFED at their district offices in Mbire,
Murambinda, Nembudziya, Gokwe South and Matopo.
 Solar System Performance Assessment: Performance evaluation was conducted on a
20kW solar PV system installed at the Competition and Tariff Commission.
 Solar powered drip irrigation: Chivi solar powered irrigation project
 Investment Modelling: Design and development of an Investment Model for the uptake
of Solar Thermal Technologies in industry SNV
 Mid-Term Evaluation for Rural Sustainable Energy Oxfam
 Chimanimani Sustainable Renewable Energy Village: The Energy Technology
Institute successfully completed the provision of the Rusitu Valley Community in
Zimbabwe with an integrated and total energy solution to meet their needs from energy.
This included the installation of a solar central charging station for lighting the homes
and a clinic, provision of solar driers for drying excess fruits and vegetables for
preservation and selling during the off-season.

Fuels
 LPG Fuel Efficiency: Fuel Economy and Efficiency Studies were conducted for the
Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) on LPG samples of different vapour
pressure and from different suppliers.
 Blended Petrol: Fuel Economy studies for various blends of petrol were conducted for
ZERA.
 Wood fuels and biomass cook stoves: Performance/ Efficiency studies were recently
conducted for Green leaf.

 Emission Measurements: Emission studies were recently conducted Safeguard
 Tubular Biogas Digester Project: ETI developed, built and trained the rural
communities at Kezi Community Centre on construction of tubular biogas digesters. The
project was funded by Africa 2000, a NGO, chose the Energy Technology Institute to
The institute completed the installation of a total of four digesters.

Training
 ZERA Solar Water Heater Design and Installation: The training was conducted in
2022 for ZERA. It involved training of technicians and engineers on the theory, design
and installation of solar water heaters in Harare, Bulawayo, Masvingo, Mutare and
Gweru.

 World Vision- Solar PV Systems and Solar Water Pumping: The training was
conducted for World Vision engineers and technicians. This was a customized training
as World Vision requested that more emphasis be placed on water pumping since much
of their work involved design and installation of water pumping systems.
 Institute of Agriculture Engineering Solar PV and Thermal Systems: The training
was offered in 2022 to the Post Harvest Department of the Institute of Agriculture
Engineering under the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural
Development.
 Econet- Solar Photovoltaic Systems Design and Installation: The training was
conducted for Econet Engineers from 2022-23.
 ZERA- Solar Photovoltaic Systems Design and Installation: The training was
conducted from 2018 for ZERA and it involved training of technicians and engineers on
the theory, design and installation of solar photovoltaic systems in Harare, Bulawayo,
Masvingo, Mutare and Gweru.
 Energy Management Training: Energy management training has been offered to
individuals and companies, which include; Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, Hwange
Colliery Company, DELTA Belmont.
