Bulawayo City Council has unveiled plans to invest in a $68 million Energy plant to support the city.
The plans were unveiled after a feasibility study conducted by a United Kingdom registered Pragma Leaf Consulting company which revealed that the waste-to-energy plant, would produce 110 000 litres of bio-diesel and 2,2 megawatts electricity.
Results from the study indicated that waste generated in Bulawayo is sufficient for the establishment of a waste-to-energy plant.
Minutes acquired by a local publication from a recent council meeting revealed that council agreed to give Diverseflex Resources (Pvt) Limited authority to work out contractual arrangements and submit the contract document for consideration by council.
The agreement conditions stipulated that Pragma would bring additional refuse removal compactors to help improve waste collections and their operations would not use potable water as they would obtain and purify water from refuse.
The conditions also indicate that only 5% of waste would be delivered to the landfill thus prolonging its lifespan.
Several council departments supported the project.
