The Energy Minister Edgar Moyo gave the nation an update on the worsening power crisis in the country during a parliamentary session.
He said the 2 new Hwange 7 and 8 units are running at full capacity, however just three of the six older units are working.
Moyo said Kariba is now down to just 100MW, less than a tenth of its capacity, due to low water levels.
His comments comes after the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) issued a statement on the reduced power generation.
ZPC said a fault at Hwange has worsened the electricity shortage adding that Kariba is currently producing a small fraction of its capacity due to low water levels.
The power company warned that this may worsen as the dam is now down to just 2.4% of the water used for power generation.
