He told The Sunday Mail : “We have made several plans to
ensure that the winter power supply situation is better than expected and we
are not expecting to exceed Stage One load shedding despite the power crisis in
the region.
“As you can see, despite the challenges, we have managed to
minimise load shedding for several months now. We are anticipating reduced load curtailment
owing to maximum generation at the Hwange Units 7 and 8, which are consistently
producing over 600MW; Hwange Units 1-6 are performing fairly well, producing an
average of 300MW from the enhanced maintenance and prioritisation of critical
spares.
“Kariba dispatch is being optimised to produce an average
of 250MW, with peak supply up to 400MW. We
have several existing import arrangements with our counterparts and Zetdc
(Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company) will also be
actively involved in the Southern African Power Pool (Sapp) Day Ahead Market,
to access any excess power from the region.”
