China-Africa Sunlight Energy (Private) Limited has contracted Environmental Guardians Services to conduct an environmental impact assessment for exploration of coal and methane gas in Gwayi-Concession, NewsDay reported.

Consultations began on March 31 and are scheduled to be concluded on April 5.

Targeted stakeholders include Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, National Museums and Monuments, Zimbabwe National Water Authority, Health ministry, Forestry Commission, Kusile Rural District and non-governmental organisations operating in Jotsholo, Gundwane, Chimwara, Kana Block and Gwayi.

Last year, China-Africa Sunlight applied for power-generation licences from the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority to establish a power station to produce 120 megawatt (MW) electricity output.

Several exploration studies revealed coalbed methane depots had capacity to produce 300MW of electricity.

Estimates say Zimbabwe has 40 trillion cubic feet of potentially recoverable gas in the Lupane-Lubimbi area.

The development of the Lupane coalbed methane gas project has potential to boost the countrys energy generation capacity. Chinese Lupane
