Zimbabwe’s Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 7 was successfully restored on Monday, adding 300MW to the national output.
Hwange Power Station’s Unit 7 was first synchronised with the system on March 20 before it was <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/05/11/zetdc-says-hwange-unit-7-has-been-temporarily-removed-from-the-grid/">taken off the national grid</a> on 11 May for confirmation tests before being put back into operation.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) announced that the official integration of Unit 7 was confirmed by its contractor, Power China Zimbabwe. Said Power China Zimbabwe, the Chinese company that carried out the installation:
<blockquote>
Unit #7 of Hwange Power Plants was officially integrated into the national grid, adding 300MW of electricity to the national grid.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe embarked on the Hwange Power Station expansion project in 2018, with funding primarily coming from China, and the two 300MW units, Units 7 and 8, are being added to the plant. Unit 8 is expected to start power production in October of this year.
Energy and Power Development Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Soda_Zhemu/">Soda Zhemu</a> confirmed that the Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 7 will add 300MW to the national output, contributing to the 600MW expected from the expansion project before the end of the month. He said:
<blockquote>
 It was being run on commissioning tests where they were testing the turbine running capacity, which was successful and also the boiler hydraulics.
What happened is that after running it for the period of the tests, they took it out of the grid in order for technicians to do evaluations before the unit is run on commercial basis.
They have been working on the unit and according to what they had pre-determined at a time when they took it off the grid, the unit was supposed to be tied back to the grid today (Thursday).
We now expect that we will be having a contribution of 600 megawatts that will be coming from the expansion project any time before the end of this month, the 300 megawatts coming on commercial availability and the 300 megawatts from Unit 8 still on commercial test.
</blockquote>
The Minister of Energy and Power Development, Soda Zhemu, stated that an additional 600 megawatts will improve power availability in the country. He also stated that Kariba South Power Station was generating more power than it was earlier this year due to increased water allocation. The allocation was made after ZESCO and ZESA met with the Zambezi River Authority, which manages the water resources.
The combined output of the country’s electricity has improved, hovering around 1,200MW, recovering from the lowest point of below 400MW earlier this year.

Zimbabwe's Hwange Unit 7 Restored To The National Grid

Energy and Power Development minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Soda_Zhemu">Soda Zhemu</a>, has said Zimbabwe’s power situation is set to improve at the end of March when an additional 300 megawatts of power are obtained from the refurbished Hwange Unit 7.
Responding to questions in the National Assembly last Wednesday Minister Zhemu said:
<blockquote>
We are getting a capacity of around 170 megawatts from South Africa and the contract still subsists despite the power supply situation that is in South Africa. We are still able to obtain power from South Africa. As for the mitigation measures that the Government of Zimbabwe has put in place in the event that South Africa one day gets to a situation where they will not be able to give us power, already the expansion of Hwange Power Station will give additional power supply of around 600 megawatts from Unit 7 and 8. I indicated the readiness of Unit 7 from which we will be getting 300 megawatts before end of this month (March) and another unit will be following after a month to give us a total of 600 megawatts being fed into the grid.
</blockquote>
He said there are plans to rehabilitate the existing units at Hwange Power Station, that is, Units 1 to 6 to get them back to the installed capacity of 920 megawatts.
The Hwange units are generating a combined 387 megawatts coming from Hwange Power Station.
Acting Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) Managing Director Engineer Howard Choga is on record as saying the country’s electricity consumption is at 1 850 megawatts.
Analysts say due to constant breakdowns at Zimbabwe’s largest coal-fired power station, which has seen output falling to less than 9 per cent of its designed capacity of 920MW in recent days, there is little hope that units 7 and 8 will change anything.

Energy Minister Says Power Situation To Improve End Of March

Minister of Energy and Power Development Zhemu Soda (MP) launched the Renewable Energy Fund this Monday. 
The Fund is expected to unlock over USD 30 Million from the Zimbabwean financial markets, and regional and international development focus entities, the bulk of which would otherwise not typically be directed towards RE fina
This year, the United Nations SDG-Fund approved Zimbabwe’s USD 45 Million programme on catalysing investments in Renewable Energy (RE) for the acceleration of the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country. 
The UN SDG-Fund is contributing USD 10 Million to the programme whilst the Government of Zimbabwe through the Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe (IDBZ) and local partners including Old Mutual Investment Group (OMIG), Zimnat Asset Management and CABS is contributing a total of USD 35 Million.
The 4-year programme aims to leverage private investments in order to support Renewable Energy-based projects for the achievement of the SDGs in Zimbabwe. 
During the launch, Soda was asked to state the major sources of power in Zimbabwe to which he responded by saying Kariba and Hwange. 
He said Hwange’s capacity is 920 Megawatts but is generating an average of 400 MW because it’s now 40 years without major rehabilitation.
The minister added that the government has taken a decision to rehabilitate the Hwange power station with around US$310m and various services have started at Hwange for rehabilitation on all the 6 power generation units that are currently making up for the Hwange Station. He added:
<blockquote>
The idea was to take out 2 units at a time when unit 7 starts feeding into the grid. This will kickstart after the coming in of units 7 and 8, where units 1 to 6 are rehabilitated.
</blockquote>
He said the rehabilitation of Kariba Dam which started in 2017 is still on course and is expected to end in 2025. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s on 61% completion. The Spillway rehabilitation is at 50%. It started in 2019. This rehabilitation has nothing to do with the current shortage of power.
</blockquote>
The minister also said Zimbabwe has a capacity of generating 1500 megawatts at Kariba but all depends on the availability of water. Soda added:
<blockquote>
Because of Hwange power station breakdowns, we had to depend and rely on Kariba more than what Zambia did particularly in Winter.
We are aware we have over-used our water, we are now using water for Zambia to generate electricity after negotiations at a higher level to allow Zimbabwe to continue generating between 250 and 300 megawatts. There is absolutely nothing bad about Zimbabwe or Zambia.
Munyati has a capacity of 90MW, Byo 100 MW and Harare around 200MW. But they have been producing less. We are on Bulawayo station to produce around 90 to 100MW and funding has been secured for that.

Energy Minister Launches Renewable Energy Fund

Advocate <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tinomudaishe_Chinyoka">Tinomudaishe Chinyoka</a> has challenged his suspension from the Petrotrade board where he was the chairperson. Energy and Power Development Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Soda_Zhemu">Soda Zhemu</a>, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/03/10/energy-minister-suspends-entire-petrotrade-board-of-directors/">suspended the entire boar</a>d citing alleged corporate governance issues. Chinyoka says the ministry is desperately attempting to deflect attention from the Board’s investigations into corrupt and fraudulent activities that occurred during the period when the Ministry had direct oversight over Petrotrade in the absence of a Board. The board was appointed in 2021 after Petrotrade had operated for five years without the governing board.
<blockquote>
<h2>RE: EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS AT PETROTRADE</h2>
Reference is made to the above and to your letter of even reference dated 25 January 2022. 
1 
Because of the very fundamental and serious implications of your letter, I have taken the following steps: (a) 1 will reply to the letter in seriatim, so that nothing is missed, (b) I will address both what is said and what, from a basic exegesis of the letter, is implied, and (c) in order that said implications have a demonstrable basis, I will provide context and additional information to show the provenance of the same.
Because this letter is unusually long, it is necessary at this stage that I outline its basic conclusions so that a cursory reading of the letter does not result in certain pivotal conclusions being missed. This letter makes the case that: 
(a) thanks to the sterling work exclusively carried out by the COO and the BDD, the market share for Petrotradc has now jumped from 2.6896 in October 2021 to 6.16% in January 2022;
(b) your office was sent. notification of the appointment of the COO and the BDT) on 3 November 2021 in terms of section 18 of the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act (Chapter 10:31], (“the Public Entities Act”), and this was prior to them starting work; 
(c) the position taken in your letter, and the interpretations given to various pieces of legislation is wrong and without legal basis; 
(d) the only appointments at Petrotrade that are null and void are the appointments by your office of both Mr. G. Ncube and Mr. D. Mukuku as substantive Directors of the company in their personal capacities and not as ex-officio Directors as should have been done; 
(e) your letter of 25 January 2022 was authored as part of a desperate attempt by people in your employ to deflect attention from the Board’s investigations into corrupt and fraudulent activities that occurred during the period when the Ministry had direct oversight over Petrotrade in the absence of a Board; 
(f) in light of the serious issues of fraud and corruption that we have uncovered and were on the verge of taking action on prior to receipt of your letter, I no longer stand by the recommendation to forward Mr. Godfrey Ncube’s name as an alternative to Mr. Cougan Nlatanhire for the position of substantive CEO of Petrotrade Private) Limited; 
(g) instead, the only alternative to Mr. Matanire for appointment as CEO of the entity should be Ms. Nomsa Chitsaka in terms of the outcome of the interviews, as explained to you in my letter of 4 February 2022, a copy of which is attached hereto marked as “Annexure A”.
I will now address your letter is seriatim. I must emphasise that I have replied to this letter in my own capacity as Board Chairman, and that the Board is meeting today to deliberate on your letter and will no doubt send a suitably bland reply. However, I stand by the allegations of fact and conclusions of law that are stated herein. I have highlighted the words from your letter in red and numbered the paragraphs for ease of reference:
1. Your letter, which forms the official record of the Ministry of Energy and Power Development, was written on 25 January 2022 and stamped by the Ministry on 26 January 2022. 
2. This letter was not delivered to myself, but delivered to Petrotrade on 15 February 2022. Quite why it took your office in excess of three weeks to deliver this letter, in light of its contents, is both puzzling and suspicious. Is it possible that a decision was made to make certain conclusions based on the claim that “we wrote to the Board Chairman and he did not reply”? 
3. I hope, and would like to believe, that this was not the intention, but that this was just due to the usual sloppiness that sometimes characterises our interactions with your office. It however does not augur well for good corporate governance that correspondence of this import is not treated seriously. I will be hoping that in your assessment of your officials in terms of their performance contracts, you establish what causes situations like this to occur. 
4. Sometime on or after 4 February 2022, the Ministry’s representative on the Board, Ms C Marabada, called our Board Secretary to ask for the reply to your letter. The Board Secretary indicated that she had only received a letter dated 27 January 2022 asking for a report on the appointment of the CEO and that the Board Chairman had drafted a reply. Ms Marabada then indicated that in fact, there was another letter on the appointment of the COO and the BDD and that the reply to that letter was due on 4 February 2022 (in fact the letter says 4 February 2021!) The Board Secretary indicated that she had not received the letter, and would check with myself, which she did. 1 confirmed that I too had not received the letter. 
5. The letter was then delivered some two weeks after this, on 15 February 2022 as I have indicated.
6. As a member of the Petrotrade Board, Ms Marabada did not call me to alert me as to the existence of this letter. Knowing that the letter accused the Board of having acted ultra vires the legislation, it is my view that her failure to inform me of the contents of the letter was deliberate, for reasons that will be apparent below 
7. The fact that Ms Marabada knew what was in a letter from your office to myself, however, says a lot about failures in corporate governance on your end. On the one hand, as the Ministry representative, it makes sense that Ms Marabada should lie aware of communication from the Ministry to Petrotrade and vice versa. It might well even be part of her duties to draft such a letter.
8. But, it seems incongruent with her role as a Board member that she should be the person that makes follow-ups with staff at Pctrotradc on letters directed to the Board or myself. 
9. Whichever way you look at it, I do not see how you can justify the fact that a Board member knew the contents of a letter sent to the Board Chairman long before the Chairman did. It might be an area where we both need to seek guidance from the CGU. 
10. The insinuation that this information was a recent discovery on the part of the Ministry must be dismissed outright. The suggestion that these appointments “`[cane] to the Ministry’s attention” by chance is contemptible at best. 
11.In the various meetings that we have held online and in person with your office, you have personally informed the Board :hat we must always send our resolutions to your office for noting and action. You have stated, specifically in answer to the question: “When we send these, should we wait for your approval before implementing actions?” that if we . did not hear anything from your office after sending our resolutions, we must assume that your office has no issues to raise on the resolutions.
12. To this end, I will make the following observations: 
a. By letter dated 25 August 2021, the Company advised the Ministry by attaching a copy of Board Resolution 008 of 13 July 2021, which confirmed that the Board had resolved to appoint a Business Development Manager “who shall be responsible for the development of strategies and acquisitions and retention of new business”;
b. By letter dated 3 November 2021 to the. Minister (and copied to yourself) the Board outlined the process leading to its recommendation on the appointment of the CEO and, in that letter, indicated that the Board had appointed Mr Matanhire as the COO; 
c. In a meeting held at the Ministry with the Honourable Minister on the same date (3 November 2021), a meeting at which your office were represented by Ministry officials, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board and myself handed over the letter mentioned in paragraph (b) above and specifically had a conversation with the Honourable Minister when he sought to clarify whether, in addition to appointing Mr Matanhirc as the COO, we had promised him that he was being recommended for appointment as CEO, to which we replied no; 
d. By letter dated 3 November 2021 addressed to the Hon. Minister and copied to your office in compliance with section 18(2) of the Public Entities Act a copy of which is attached hereto marked as “Annexure B”, the Board through myself informed the Ministry about the appointment of the BDD and the COO, and attached all the relevant documents in terms of the Public Entities Act. It is worth noting that at the time of this notification, neither of the two had started working for Petrotrade.

Energy Minister Soda Says "Make Use Of ZUPCO Buses" As Fuel Prices Go Up

The brand new Energy and Power Development Minister Soda Zhemu in his maiden interview with the state media, The Sunday Mail, said by the year 2023, Zimbabwe will be a net exporter of electricity since it might be producing 5 000 Megawatts by then.
Zhemu said this to the publication:
<blockquote>By 2023, Zimbabwe should be a net exporter of power. I have identified various aspects that can lead to such growth. I have a keen interest in the participation of the private sector in power supply. Overall, independent power producers (IPPs) are looking at producing over 3 000MW by 2023, so we think that by 2023 the country will be able to produce about 5 000MW,
Hwange is a good example because we have a number of projects that are taking place there. For instance, last week I toured the ZZEE plant in Hwange, which is 70 percent complete. It will be commissioned early next year and they have plans to produce 50MW in the first phase and 270MW by the second phase. This is just one example, but there are many similar projects where they are integrating coal production with generating electricity.</blockquote>
Zhemu also commented on the fuel situation that looks like it is stabilising for the first time in 2 years and said it was because the government had managed to stabilise the exchange rate:
<blockquote>We are almost at stability now. The black market is a result of arbitrage opportunities that were emerged because of the previous pricing system. The RBZ’s auction system has brought wonderful results for the fuel industry and I am confident that with the current policies, the black market will remain constrained and things will continue to run smoothly in the fuel sector.</blockquote>
