Great Dyke Energy has appointed Nokuthula Ndlovu as chief operating officer. She will oversee construction, operations and maintenance across the company's portfolio of commercial and industrial solar plants.

Ndlovu joins from a regional utility where she managed grid connections for independent power producers. She is an electrical engineer from Bulawayo.

The appointment comes as the company builds its first large hybrid solar and battery plant for a mining customer.

“The next phase is about running plants well for twenty years, not just building them.”
