The Batoka Gorge Hydroelectric Project, meant to solve perennial electricity shortages in Zimbabwe and Zambia, may not proceed due to significant hurdles, an official has revealed.
The multi-billion-dollar power plant, planned since 1972, is expected to generate 2,400 MW to alleviate power shortages.
Despite renewed efforts in the past decade, ZESA Holdings executive chairperson Sydney Gata said that the project is fraught with risks.
Gata, who was speaking during the ongoing Zimbabwe-Zambia Energy Projects Summit in Victoria Falls, said (via <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200035198/no-end-in-sight-to-zims-power-woesas-mega-project-may-never-take-off">NewsDay</a>):
<blockquote>
The other thing that I would like to mention, especially in respect of Batoka, is that we always need to do more exhaustive feasibility studies.
The project has not seen the light of day since 42 years ago. One of the reasons is that there has not been an exhaustive review of markets and also hydrology.
The project that we have today, in our experience, will not work. There is also a question of enforcement risk.
Enforcement risk is my translation of the experience we had in the reconstitution of CAPCO (Central African Power Corporation) and the formation of ZRA (Zambezi River Authority). That process was not clean.
</blockquote>
Due to low water levels at Kariba Dam, power generation at both Kariba North and Kariba South Power Stations has been severely impacted, resulting in up to 20 hours of load shedding per day in both Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The Kariba South Power Station, operated by ZESA, has a generation capacity of 1,050 MW but is currently producing only 124 MW. Said Gata:
<blockquote>
… decisions were being made at a political level without regard to the position of technocrats”.
I said that not all the political leadership is aware of this. We tried very hard to advocate for further extensive studies.
Certain hydrological models and models of investment can overcome this ugly picture. Batoka, as it stands now, is a victim of load factor risk.
It is also a victim of load profile risk, but you can mitigate both. If you do further feasibility studies, there are other options. In fact, some of them we knew about in 1984.
I am surprised that they have not been taken into account. Batoka also needs a market study that is honest and relevant.
</blockquote>
In 2021, the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) announced that the consortium chosen to build the project was having difficulty securing funding.

The Batoka Gorge Hydroelectric Project is a big power plant that is supposed to give electricity to Zimbabwe and Zambia. But, it might not happen because of many problems. The project has been planned since 1972 but hasn't started yet. The water levels at Kariba Dam are low, causing electricity shortages in both countries. The people in charge say that more studies are needed to make sure the project will work. The project needs money to start, but it is hard to find. This means that the project may never happen, and people will continue to have electricity problems.

2,400 MW Batoka Gorge Hydroelectric Project May Never Take Off

The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) has called for comments with regard to the proposed <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Batoka_Gorge">Batoka Gorge</a> 2 400 MW Hydropower Project. A statement seen by Pindula News says comments should be sent before 17 October 2022.
Batoka Hydro-electric Scheme (HES) is a proposed project that will be located on the Zambezi River approximately 54 km downstream of Victoria Falls. 
The project site is located across the boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The project was first conceived back in 1972 and has been wheeled out a couple of times by our government as the panacea to our load-shedding woes. 
Mega deals that include General Electric and China Power have been announced in state-controlled media many times, but none of them materialised. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>PUBLIC NOTICE ON THE BATOKA GORGE 2400 MW HYDROPOWER PROJECT REVIEW </h2>
<h2>ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (ESIA) FOR BATOKA GORGE 2400 MW HYDROPOWER PROJECT</h2>
The Environmental Management Agency received the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the proposed Batoka 2400 MW Hydro Power Project in terms of Section 100 of the Environmental Management Act (CAP 20:27). Hydro Power Schemes are prescribed projects in terms of Section 97 as read with the First Schedule of the Environmental Management Act (CAP 20:27), thus require an ESIA study to be conducted, and issuance of an ESIA certificate before the project commences. As part of the review process, the Public is therefore being notified of the submission of the above-proposed project for review in terms of Section 100 of the Environmental Management Act (CAP 20:27) as read with Section 10(7) of Statutory Instrument 7 of 2007.
<h2>SUMMARY OF BATOKA GORGE HYDRO-ELECTRIC SCHEME (BGHES) PROJECT </h2>
The proposed BGHES project will be located in the central portion of the Zambezi River Basin and will span across the international boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The proposed Hydro Power Plant is expected to generate 2400 MW Power. In Zimbabwe, it will be situated on the Zambezi River and approximately 47 km downstream of the Victoria Falls in Hwange District covering Matetsi, Chidobe, Katchecheti, Nemanhanga, Mbizha, Jambezi, Sidinda, Mashala and Simangani Wards. In Zambia, it covers parts of the Kazungula District in Mukuni and Katapazi Wards. The proposed BGHES Includes the following key components; 
1. Dam wall and reservoir, including a spillway. 
2. Surface powerhouses, one on each side of the river, 
3. Transmission lines in Zambia and Zimbabwe, 
4. Access roads (and Batoka Bridge) in Zambia and Zimbabwe; and, 
5. Project townships (in both Zambia and Zimbabwe) and other ancillary infrastructure (such as quarries, spoils area and hatching areas). The Full ESIA report is accessible on the following link; https://www-zambezira.org/hydro-electric-schemes/batoka-hes-project 
The Agency, therefore, invites comments from the Public as part of the review process on the proposed project to be emailed to batoka.esia@ema.co.zw on or before 17 October 2022.

EMA Calls For Review Of The Proposed Batoka Gorge 2 400 MW Hydropower Project

Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Zambia President Hakainde Hichilema this week discussed the revival of the Batoka Gorge Hydro Power Project. According to reports, the project is expected to supply 1200MW each to Zimbabwe and Zambia. 
The discussion by the two presidents took place on the sidelines of the 42nd Sadc summit held in Kinshasa.
Said Mnangagwa about the meeting:
<blockquote>
“We took this opportunity that we are both here in Kinshasa and we are neighbours. We decided to have a chat to share on issues of interest between Zimbabwe and Zambia, in particular, you all know about the Batoka Gorge which is a joint project between Zambia and Zimbabwe, so we were discussing how to move forward.”
</blockquote>
Said Hichilema:
<blockquote>
“We had a good catch-up meeting and discussed issues around the Batoka Gorge hydropower project which has been on and off, we would like to revive it, it is green energy. I really want to thank His Excellency President Mnangagwa for taking the initiative for us to have a catch up meeting here and agree on how to move forward.”
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe has had a significant serious power deficit for more than a decade owing to limited generation capacity and insufficient money to import power.
This has meant load-shedding which has affected both consumers and businesses. This has resulted in a trend by Zimbabwean households and businesses to resort to private solar installations for their needs. 
According to ZPC, the country currently generates 1250MW of power from the Kariba Hydro Power Station (873MW) and Hwange Thermal Power Station (377MW).
The proposed Batoka Hydro-electric Scheme is located on the Zambezi River, about 54 km downstream of the Victoria Falls, across the boundary between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The project is administered by the Zambezi Rivery Authority, which is equally owned by the two governments.
<h2>A brief historical timeline of Batoka Gorge Hydro Power Project</h2>
<ul>
<li>1904: Geological investigations for potential sites for a Hydroelectric station commenced. </li>
<li>1972: Only 7 decades later, further investigations identify Batoka Gorge, Devil’s Gorge and Mupata Gorge as potential sites for the project. The Batoka Gorge is identified as the most suitable site for a potential hydropower scheme. 
This work is carried out by the Central African Power Corporation with the aim of identfying possible power sources to meet the power demands of Zambia and Zimbabwe.</li>
<li>1981, 1982, 1983, 1989: Three more phases of site/geological investigations are done resulting in a new preferred 
Batoka Gorge site (12 km upstream of that defined in 1972). </li>
<li>1992, 1993, 1998: Zambezi River Authority (ZRA), a successor of the Central African Power Corporation, commissions the Batoka Gorge Joint Venture Consultants (BJVC) to carry out a feasibility study for the proposed Batoka Gorge Hydropower scheme. 
An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for this proposed scheme was also undertaken as part of this feasibility study, and to address gaps identified</li>
<li>2012: A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is signed between Zambia and Zimbabwe to develop the BHES project, in February. Zimbabwe had agreed payment of over $70 million to Zambia in settlement of outstanding debts relating to the division and sale of joint assets following the break up of the short-lived Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which united Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi (the Federation was established in 1953 and lasted only ten years). The settlement of this debt had, until now, been a stumbling block to the development of the Batoka Gorge Dam project.</li>
<li>2014: In 2014, the ZRA initiated some further studies on the proposed Batoka Gorge Hydro Electric Scheme.</li>
<li>2015: Zambezi River Authority engages Ernst &amp; Young as financial and legal transaction advisors for the development of the Batoka Gorge Hydro Electric Scheme. The company is charged with developing a “bankable” structure for the protect’s financing.</li>
<li>2019: A consortium led by Power Construction Corporation of China (Power China) and General Electric (GE) is selected as the contractor for the Batoka Gorge hydropower project July.</li>
</ul>
There’s been some concern from the tourism sector that the Batoka Hydro Power project will disrupt the tourism industry by “drowning one of the most highly regarded sections of commercially operated white-water rafting in the world under its waters.”

Zim & Zam Presidents Discuss "Reviving" Batoka Hydroelectric Scheme Project

The COVID-19 pandemic has reportedly set back the Kariba Power station upgrade by a further 2 years, BNN Bloomberg reports.
The development reportedly came to light after Zambia’s finance minister met Zimbabwe’s Finance Minister. Delays in unforeseen technical challenges, supply constraints, and delays in contracting works have also been cited apart from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the publication:
<blockquote>The ministers approved a budget of $71.3 million for 2021 that will be financed through a combination of internally generated funds, amortized loans, and grants sourced from the World Bank, African Development Bank, the European Union, and the Swedish International Development Agency.</blockquote>

COVID-19 Delays Kariba Power Station Upgrade By A Further 2 Years

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that General Electric Co. and Power Construction Corp. of China have been chosen to build the US$4 billion Batoka Gorge hydropower project on the Zambezi River.
The project will be done jointly by Zimbabwe and Zambia and upon completion is expected to generate 2 400 megawatts.
Speaking in Mozambique at the US-Africa Summit recently, President Mnangagwa said:
<blockquote>Zambia and Zimbabwe have agreed on this project. We have all agreed that we give it to GE — China Power and GE together.
It’s critical that we move fast on that front because it’s necessary that as we industrialize that we need electricity.</blockquote>
The Batoka Gorge Hydropower Plant will be built upstream of Lake Kariba whose water level has receded alarmingly reducing electricity generation fro the two countries leading to crippling power cuts.

General Electric Company To Build US$4 Billion Batoka Gorge Power Plant

<blockquote>In today’s world, energy has revolutionised all of our lifestyles.  From the palm of our hands we have instruments more powerful than the largest and most sophisticated computers from just a few years ago.
Entrepreneurs and innovators have the ability to move from rags to riches today like never before.  And with Zimbabwe’s incredible human resource talent, pool of educated youth, and spirit of creativity, our innovation potential is boundless.  However, for this to be fulfilled we must empower Zimbabweans.  Quite literally, our towns and villages must be electrified into action; the people demand energy!
So as Government, the Transitional Stabilisation Programme has prioritised investments in power generation, transmission and distribution networks.  Our young programmers needs to keep their computers powered, our young designers need their sewing machines around the clock, and our young students need the lights on to succeed in their studies.  We are therefore working closely with the private sector to address all power outages across Zimbabwe which are undermining economic growth, social development, and have been holding us all back for far too long.
The Batoka Gorge Hydro-Electric Scheme, a game changing project, is coming to life.  The updating of feasibility studies is now expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter this year, which will pave way for real resource mobilisation.  With investors lining up from across the globe for this exciting project; we expect significant progress in the coming weeks on the scheme.   Likewise, the Hwange 7 &amp; 8 Expansion Project, comprising two units of 300MW each, at a cost of 1,5 billion US dollars, is underway.  The project is on schedule to be completed within 42 months from the start date of August 1, 2018.
And across the land, we are witnessing a true diversity of projects.  We are working closely with our Indian counterparts to catalyse the long-stalled Bulawayo Thermal Power Station project. ZPC had secured a $87 million line of credit from Exim Bank of India back in 2015.  With additional credit now coming in from the Indian government, the EPC procurement  process is now underway in India with the Exim Bank of India prequalifying bidders, which will pave way for commencement of works.  Then there is the repowering of Harare Thermal Power Station, the Deka Water Pumping Project, the Gwanda Solar Project, as well as a plethora of mini-hydro plants which are springing up across the country.
We are breaking through bureaucratic barriers and antiquated protocols to kickstart these multi-faceted projects. But the power sources are not enough. It is incumbent upon us to ensure that transmission projects keep pace with the developments. We must bring energy to every corner of our blessed land.  There is no use producing the fruits, if they don’t reach the mouths they are grown to feed!
The ZIMFUND emergency power infrastructure rehabilitation project is already producing results.  The procurement process for installation of transformers at Sherwood and Orange Grove, as well as the construction of a dedicated transmission line to Gimboki waterworks has been completed with site handover scheduled to take place this month.
The Alaska-Karoi 132kV transmission line has received the $22 million grant necessary for its 85km route completion and is expected to be fully operational next year. Other transmission lines expected to be completed in the near future include Alaska-Karoi 132kV, Atlanta-Mutoko 132kV, Tugwi-Masvingo 132kV, the Horseshoe-Kanyemba 132kV, and of course the ZIZABONA.
The ZIZABONA is the Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia transmission line which is being finalised for submission to AfDB; a regional solution to a regional problem.  Zimbabwe is an integral player in SADC, and we understand that the development and electrification of our economy cannot take place in a vacuum. We must work closely with our partners and neighbours to ensure optimal efficiency, optimal growth, and optimal prosperity.
And at home, we are already seeing results. Drawing from the Rural Electrification Fund, a total of 254 public institutions have recently been electrified.  In 2019, we have a duty to make sure that at least 519 targeted public institutions have the necessary access to the power they need to serve the people.
As the new Zimbabwe races ahead with its programme to restructure, reform and rebuild, we must at all times put the long-term growth potential of the Zimbabwe economy at the heart of our plans. And this means expediting power projects from North to South, East to West.  We have a duty to keep the lights on. We have a duty to power the homes, businesses and the factories of Zimbabwe.  There is no other way.
By investing in power for all the people, we will empower the nation of Zimbabwe for a brighter future for all.</blockquote>
