Hwange Units 7 And 8 To Be Serviced During Festive Season

Hwange Thermal Power Station’s Units 7 and 8 are scheduled for maintenance during the festive season.

Officially inaugurated by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on August 3, 2023, each unit generates 300 megawatts.

In an interview with Sunday News, Minister of Energy and Power Development Edgar Moyo explained that this maintenance is planned for the festive season when power demand is typically lower, to minimise the impact on the national power supply. Said Moyo:

The Class C maintenance for Hwange Units 7 and 8 is set to commence in mid-November and will last until mid-January.
From mid-November to mid-December, we will focus on Unit 7, followed by Unit 8 from mid-December to mid-January.

Moyo said that power generation fluctuates daily, largely influenced by the operational efficiency of the power stations.

He also said the country is currently facing a deficit of between 350 and 600 megawatts, primarily due to frequent breakdowns at Hwange Units 1 to 6.

Some say China sold Zim decommissioned power generating units. Those things were already decommissioned in China. China was then paid billions to dump it here. I am starting to believe that now.

Industry cannot run on Zesa, but I suppose Zesa is not giving industry power anyway. That's why politicians run petrol stations so they can make money off people running generators. They can loot on both sides of the power scale.

hopefully after the wonderful service they will last for more than 6 months before having to be serviced again, even my generator at home runs for longer than these hwange "units" before my generator needs a service

lies you want to export power, In 2023 the president assured the nation there will be no more power outages after the competitioning of unit 7 & 8, maybe you misinform him.

Festive season is not that massive when it comes to production. Some manufacturing companies close doors for holidays
