Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Kariba South power station, which is a 1 050MW hydroelectric power plant, has increased its generation capacity to 401 megawatts (MW) from around 200MW in previous weeks.<\/p>\n

According to the latest Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) generation statistics published on 20 December 2022, Kariba has now doubled its power output.<\/p>\n

The statistics show that Munyati is producing 17MW, Kariba 401MW, and Hwange 429MW; giving a total of 847MW.<\/p>\n

However, the two small coal-fired power stations in Harare and Bulawayo were not generating anything.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe has been facing acute power shortages due to reduced power generation at Kariba caused by low water levels.<\/p>\n

Kariba Hydro supplies around 70 percent of the country\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n
