The crippling electricity crisis in Zimbabwe is likely to normalise next
year, says Energy and Power Development Minister Elton Mangoma.
He said that government was working on a comprehensive programme to increase
power output by exploiting methane gas reserves in Lupane for electricity
generation, Zimbabwe’s Herald Online reported on Thursday.
Government was working “around the clock” to court private investors in the
power generation sector.
Mangoma said power generation would improve significantly next year.
“We are targeting the Lupane gas reserves, which we hope to start exploiting
for electricity generation and we are currently working on finding the right
partners for the deal.”
