Power Crisis Looms As Hwange Units 7 And 8 Go Offline For Maintenance

Zimbabwe’s power generation is expected to decline further in the coming months as Units 7 and 8 of the Hwange Thermal Power Station, which provide nearly half of the country’s electricity, are scheduled for Class C maintenance—a statutory requirement.

This maintenance will remove 600 MW from the grid at a time when output from Kariba has fallen to just 215 MW.

Consequently, Zimbabwe will rely on five operational units at Hwange (1, 2, 3, 4, and 6), many of which are prone to breakdowns.

Class C maintenance involves more comprehensive tasks than routine maintenance. This type of maintenance is scheduled periodically and includes detailed inspections of critical components and systems to identify potential issues that may not be evident during regular checks.

It also encompasses complete overhauls of major equipment, such as turbines, generators, and boilers, ensuring they operate efficiently and safely.
Additionally, extensive testing and calibration of instruments and control systems are conducted to maintain accuracy and reliability.

Gloria Magombo, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Power Development, said that Zimbabwe has licenced Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects totalling nearly 2,000 MW in solar energy and 920 MW in coal.

However, most of these projects remain unimplemented because investors require a stable environment and government guarantees on returns.

Magombo said that the average electricity demand during winter was 2,300 MW, while the average supply stood at only 1,550 MW.

these were created long long ago when the population was still very low ,now we need major solutions to our problems coz these were designed to supply very low electricity even if they do all year maintenance and repairs we may still lack power, we need new ideas to create electricity in bulk ,these old minds only try to preserve zvimwe zvaorera

If you don't know power generation and power plant maintenance, just shut up instead of displaying your ignorance in public.

Install independent Solar Power for your home and leave Zesa to power industry.Zesa should reinvest REA funds in community based Solar Systems.Levy each new client some funds towards new power stations. and truly open up the sector to pvt producers .Allow import/export metres for those with excess power and pay them when they export to you.Just Allow other players.

Can one use solar on stove and ironing? Im asking one shallow @Z
James Makoni · 6 months ago
Yes it is possible. But it will absolutely drain your batteries. An iron is 1.2W and a stove is about 600W per plate. Your inverter can handle the pressure but long cooking sessions will drain your batteries. You're better off ironing quickly on solar and getting a gas stove

SELF SUFFICIENT MEASURES AVOID INCONVENIENCE AND ARE VERY RELIABLE. IF YOU CAN AFFORD INSTALLING SOLAR SYSTEMS, THEN GO AHEAD AND DO IT. YOU AVOID ALL THE NOISE AND LOAD SHEDDING.
