Zimbabwe will need $30 million to build six hydroelectricity generators to 
ease power shortages in the country, Newsday said, citing Deputy Energy 
Minister Hubert Nyanhongo.

The hydropower generators will produce between 1 and 5megawatts of 
electricity each, Harare-based Newsday said on its website. Closely held 
South African power producer NuPlanet (Pty) Ltd. has a license to build a 
$12 million, five-megawatt generator at Lake Mutirikwi near the southern 
city of Masvingo, Newsday added.

Zimbabwe submitted a $40 million bid to exploit methane gas in Lupane, where 
a $470 million power plant will be developed once deposits have been 
quantified, Newsday reported. The southern African nation has about 27 
trillion cubic feet of untapped methane-gas reserves, it said.
