The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) says electricity generated in the second quarter of 2017 was 5 percent below target due to inadequate coal supplies for its thermal power stations and continued water conservation measures at Lake Kariba.
ZPC generates electricity from the Hwange Thermal Power Station, the Kariba Hydro Power Station and three small coal fired power stations, Munyati in Kwekwe, Harare and Bulawayo. Meanwhile, Gwariro said notable headway had been registered on power expansion projects, with progress at Kariba South Extension Project, for example, standing at 91 percent.
The project remained on course for commissioning in December 2017.
