Zimbabwe and Zambia agreed to reduce reliance on the Kariba Dam and the Zambezi River for electricity, citing drought-related declines in hydropower output. Energy Ministers July Moyo and Makozo Chikote committed to developing alternative energy sources and strengthening regional cooperation. The plan includes exploring fossil fuel and gas options to support key sectors like mining and agriculture. Both countries aim to increase energy security and adapt to long-term climate challenges.
