Ngonyezi Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage Power Station, also Ngonyezi Power Station, is a planned 2,000 megawatt-hours (7,200 GJ) hydroelectric power station, across the Odzi River, a tributary of the Save River, in Zimbabwe. The power station is under development by Ngonyezi Projects Limited. .
The power station would be located in , in in the eastern part of the country, close to the international border with . The power station would be at the site of the existing .
The cost of developing both components of the power station is estimated at US$700 million. The solar farm will be built first on approximately 500 hectares (1.9 sq mi) of the 2,600. .
This power station is under development, primarily to "provide backup support for the national power grid". It is meant to support network capacity during peak hours, a period that lasts about 8.5 hours everyday in Zimbabwe.A 300 megawatts. The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has set March 18, 2025, as the deadline for bids on its ambitious plan to construct three large-scale battery storage facilities with a combined capacity of 1,800MW.
