Zimbabwe To Continue Power Generation From Kariba Dam Despite Low Water Level

The Zimbabwean government says the country’s power utility will continue generating electricity from the Kariba Dam hydroelectric station despite current low water levels attributed to drought.

The Kariba Dam, a primary source of electricity for both Zimbabwe and Zambia, is managed by the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) on behalf of the two nations.

Last month, the Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (ZESCO) announced plans to shut down its power station at Kariba due to depleted water levels affecting power generation.

However, Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister, Mthuli Ncube, said the country will continue generating power from Kariba. Said Ncube:

The Kariba might be shut down due to the low water levels, we don’t expect this to happen on the Zimbabwean side as we share this facility with Zambia and it’s managed through the Zambezi River Authority. Our prognosis is that on the Zimbabwean side, there shouldn’t be difficulty at all.

The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) has been producing decreasing amounts of power from Kariba Dam over the past several months.

As of October 16, 2024, the ZPC Kariba South Power Station was generating a meagre 184MW, compared to its installed capacity of 1,050MW.

According to the ZRA, the lake level has been steadily decreasing due to low inflow, reaching 476.30m (5.56% usable storage) on October 15, 2024, compared to 478.40m (20.23% usable storage) on the same date last year.

it is amazing in Zimbabwe since 1980 wee took over the country.after many years of independence we failed to discover that Zimbabwe need more storage of electricity after manufacturing it from our machines which uses water.they know very well that Zimbabwe uses........ of electricity per day times number of days in a year.new locations are being built here in Zimbabwe are many countrywide and the demand of electricity is highly increasing so they must expand/increase their storage system which needs billions of dollars to meet Zimbabwean demand.in Harare there is zpc which used to manufacture electricity and put it into thee grid ,hwange thermal power which are not being talked about it.zimbabwe must built a neuclear power station to manufacture electricity and the mineral for that we have it here in Zimbabwe.

... and then we forget about the solar project coz takapa mwanakomna vemhu iye akatenga mota dzemafans emusangano

there is a reason why power generation has to be stopped or be curtailed when the water level goes below a certain percentage! it is a man made lake which was scientifically designed, and the risk of squeezing generation from it is very well known! would any other country want to share a resource with us knowing that we do not stop using the shared resource beyond risking a breakdown or destruction of the resource?

Nkalakata yes using thermal power is great source of energy but due to its effects on climate change World Leaders are trying to find Eco_Friendy Source of energy for the likes of hydro Electricity Wind Electricity Solar Electricity just to mention a few
