THE Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) has given Zimbabwe the greenlight to increase power generation at Kariba Power Station, as work to rehabilitate the dam’s plunge pool is almost complete.
Zimbabwe is currently allowed to generate at least 550 megawatts (MW) per day at the hydropower plant it shares with Zambia.
During the last quarter of 2021, ZRA requested Zesco Limited and the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) to reduce power generation levels for six hours per day on a few selected dates to facilitate cofferdam construction works under the plunge pool reshaping sub-project of the Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project (KDRP).
