Zimbabwe is turning to Russian investors to help it build small, modular nuclear reactors to cope with power shortages.
The country plans to grow its energy production capacity from 2,600 megawatts to 4,000 megawatts by 2035; power cuts currently last as long as 18 hours.
Officials also said the government aimed to increase the use of renewable energy resources, including solar and wind.
Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia, and Burkina Faso have signed deals with Russia over the last decade to support the development of nuclear resources.
