Zim must scale up energy solutions beyond Geo Pomona

THE recent commissioning of the Geo Pomona waste-to-energy facility in Harare has unveiled an unprecedented opportunity to revolutionise Zimbabwe’s approach to both waste management and energy generation.

As the facility gears up to inject 22 megawatts into the national grid while processing 650 tonnes of waste daily, it has established a compelling blueprint for addressing Zimbabwe’s persistent energy deficit through innovative, environmentally-conscious solutions.

The launch ceremony, graced by President Emmerson Mnangagwa and acting Local Government minister Winston Chitando, showcased how strategic public-private partnerships can transform environmental challenges to energy opportunities, setting a precedent that demands rapid replication throughout the country’s urban and rural landscapes.
