Key objectives include:
🟠reducing road transport of fuel;
🟠curbing tax evasion and illegal sales;
🟠ensuring legal and efficient fuel distribution via a dedicated pipeline;
🟠expanding capacity from 2.5 million to 5 million liters annually by year-end.
The project involves extending the existing pipeline from Beira to Feruka and from Feruka to Harare, with future connections planned for Zambia and the DRC.
Energy Minister July Moyo emphasized Zimbabwe’s strategic location and existing infrastructure, positioning the country as a key energy transit hub in Southern Africa. He also expressed confidence that the private sector will see the pipeline as a profitable opportunity under government-regulated oversight.
