Loadshedding is expected to ease, as the Hwange Thermal Power Station’s Unit 8 is back on the national grid with 300 Megawatts.
This unit has been down and undergoing maintenance since 21 August 2024.
At 1 850mw peak demand, Zimbabwe is generating 74% of its national electricity demand.
Zimbabwe has over the years been struggling to generate enough electricity due to a number of factors.
Chief among the factors include low water levels at Kariba Dam and antiquated power generation equipment.
