No End In Sight For Zimbabwe's Electricity Crisis

No End In Sight For Zimbabwe's Electricity Crisis

Zimbabwe’s debilitating power cuts, which last for several hours a day or even days on end, are expected to continue into 2025.

The country’s power utility, ZESA Holdings, is struggling to generate enough electricity to meet demand due to low water levels at Kariba Dam and frequent breakdowns at the ageing Hwange Thermal Power Station.

The Kariba hydropower plant, with a total capacity of 1,050 megawatts (MW), has seen its generation drop to less than 200 MW.

During a press briefing, ZESA Holdings executive chairman, Sydney Gata, said that the power utility does not have the foreign currency required to import electricity from neighbouring countries. Said Gata (via The Standard):

More than 50% of our dependable capacity has been wiped out. This is the main reason behind load shedding.

The other factor is that power inputs to supplement the deficit are expensive and they demand foreign currency.

We do not have enough foreign currency to make up for the deficit.

Gata reiterated his previous claims that 18 new power stations, collectively adding 4,600 MW of capacity, were under construction and set to commence operations by 2025.

However, Zimbabwean authorities have a history of making promises that are not fulfilled. In fact, Zimbabwe’s power crisis has been worsening over the years, rather than improving.

zesa must be a profitable entity.but as long as we have the same Old dead Wood masquerading as managers there we are going nowhere.Gsta has long run out of ideas.time to bring in new brains.we cannot continue experimenting with people's lives and future relying on such spent cartridges.the guy and his educational papers might be useful somewhere and not at zesa.its increasingly becoming hopeless.dont think he will come forward to resign.he ran out of ideas years back.

Institutionalized mismanagement and corruption are the root causes of ZESA's inefficiency and incompetence..

There are different sizes of solar systems that can accommodate your needs. I have installed single phase and 3 phase systems to different households and warehouses. There are inverters that can accommodate your geyser, stove, borehole pumps , airguns etc

Thousands of private solar systems is not the answer for the millions who cannot afford a roof to put it on! The only solution is a national grid system but that requires a caring and competent government so in our case an ever declining economy will result.

Solar system can do everything for home depending on the size if your inverter and the batteries and panels. I am a solar expert and I have installed several systems to my clients. A 12KVA 3 phase Deye or Sunsynk can take your geyser, aircon, borehole pump and many more of the house hold appliances. You may contact me on +27 739336540 for discussion. Let's not fight but try to find a solution. Thank you

We have a problem of clansmanship, people put in places that require competent staff. Gata has paper qualifications but lacks the required skills. Solar is the solution and it needs proper systems. Solar irons, solar stoves etc are there. Taita problem yembavha munyika yedu umu. Kubva kumusoro chaiko dzangova mbavha dzega 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Parikungoda a lasting solution apa, the more they keep discussing failed plants the longer we will be in this crisis. If parikuvakwa major plants chaiwo, even zvikatora 10yrs tetichiziva after 10yrs problem inenge yapera. manje these guys just want shortcuts

Iwe don't be over intelligent in your own ignorance. For $800 you can buy a portable solar power station inoita zvese zvauri kuwawata izvo plus more. And for 25 years guaranteed. Zvamunogona kutsvaga pa news ndepanoti Zanu, ED, Chamisa, ZESA, Zinwa and some such free issue promises. Tarisa pane ma advert ipo pano pa Pindula and you can solve 90 pc of your problems. Asi hazviitwe nema****.
