His Excellency the President Dr Cde E.D Mnangagwa has been impressed by our tremendous work and innovation to generate electricity from waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Mnangagwa said this during his tour of our stand at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President and his Kenyan counterpart Dr William Ruto visited our stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cI am impressed to learn that you are utilising waste to produce electricity. That is brilliant! Keep up the good work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President said our innovative work fits well into his vision to transform Zimbabwe into an Upper Middle-Class Economy by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the kind of innovation we need to build our country. Fresh ideas with promise. I want you to promise me that Zimbabwe will not experience electricity shortages again,\u201d said President Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were granted a licence by the Zimbabwe Electricity Regulatory Authority (ZERA) to generate 22 Megawatts (MW) at our waste-to-energy plant in Pomona. This will be the first in Southern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, Geo Pomona Waste Management Pvt Ltd Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman Mr Dilesh Nguwaya said: \u201cWe have hired specialists in all aspects of electricity generation; we ensured that we have the right people for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Geo Pomona, we are honoured to have earned the trust of the relevant authorities and the government to contribute to building our country, Zimbabwe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electricity generated from our site will be fed into the national grid to help improve power supply using the latest technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Mnangagwa, last year, officiated at our ground-breaking ceremony and was impressed by the great transformation at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various civil works are currently underway at the site to ensure that the project is implemented on time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
