Energy and Power Development Minister Edgar Moyo says Zimbabwe can import up to 200 MW of electricity from South Africa and two Mozambican suppliers.
However, this additional power is not sufficient to fill the generation gap caused by the low water levels at the Kariba Dam, the site of the 1,050 MW Kariba South Power Station.
Moyo provided this update while answering questions in both the National Assembly and the Senate. He further revealed that the country’s current power generation, through the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), stands at 1,300 MW, while the peak demand is 1,850 MW.
Moyo also disclosed that some of the older units at the Hwange Thermal Power Station are currently undergoing rehabilitation. Moyo said:
<blockquote>
The Zambezi River Authority is implementing a tight water allocation schedule that has seen Zimbabwe and Zambia reducing their generation.
Kariba power station is generating an average of 292MW out of a dependable or installed capacity of 1 050MW due to low water levels.
</blockquote>
He said an average of 200MW had been secured from import arrangements with ESKOM of South Africa and EDM and HCB of Mozambique to help cover the electricity shortfall.
Members of Parliament also questioned Moyo about the unbuilt 100 MW Gwanda solar power station project. This project was awarded to Intratrek Zimbabwe Limited, a company led by Wicknell Chivayo, who has a prior criminal conviction.
The MPs sought clarification from Moyo regarding the status and progress of this solar power initiative, which has faced significant delays and controversies. Moyo responded:
<blockquote>
On the power generation deficit, I spoke about it earlier especially regarding the Chivayo issue, as exacerbating the problem that we have. True, that is so.
The power that we could have benefited from if that project had taken place would have assisted us in reducing the current deficit. That is agreed.
On the logistics of going forward, I indicated that the ball is now between ZPC, ZESA Holdings and Intratek. That is how far I can go.
</blockquote>
According to the latest statistics provided by the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), as of July 16, 2024, the power generation breakdown was as follows:
<ul>
<li>Hwange Thermal Power Station: 899 MW</li>
<li>Kariba Hydroelectric Power Station: 292 MW</li>
<li>Independent Power Producers (IPPs): 43 MW</li>
</ul>
This totals 1,234 MW of domestic power generation. Adding the 200 MW imported from Mozambique and South Africa brings the total available power to 1,434 MW.
However, the country’s peak power demand stands at around 1,850 MW, leaving a persistent deficit of at least 400 MW.
This supply-demand gap partially explains the daily load shedding being experienced across Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe is facing a shortage of electricity due to low water levels at the Kariba Dam. The country is importing 200 MW of power from South Africa and Mozambique to help, but it's not enough. Some power stations are being fixed, but a solar project is delayed. The country's total power generation is 1,434 MW, but the demand is 1,850 MW. This means there is still a shortage of 400 MW, leading to frequent power cuts in Zimbabwe. Members of Parliament are concerned and asking questions about the situation.

Power Imports From SA, Mozambique Partly  Offset Load Shedding

Load shedding has worsened in Zimbabwe despite an increase in generation at local power stations because South Africa has reduced electricity exports to its northern neighbour, it has emerged.
The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), a subsidiary of ZESA Holdings, successfully synchronised the first of two generators on Unit 7 into the national grid on Monday, 20 March 2023.
On Thursday 30th March 2023, Hwange Thermal Power Station’s Unit 7 first achieved a full capacity output of 335MW.
This raised hopes that debilitating unscheduled power cuts will be a thing of the past, but this has not happened.
Addressing journalists during a post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, 04 April, Energy and Power Development Minister Zhemu Soda, said that load shedding won’t ease anytime soon. He was quoted by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200009762/power-cuts-to-persist-minister">NewsDay</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
At the time Unit 7 came in we started experiencing challenges, with our imports from South Africa.
They are also having their own challenges, so there has been a curtailment of power coming from SA.
</blockquote>
He said Unit 7 was still undergoing some tests and is not yet available commercially. He said:
<blockquote>
There has been an improvement in power supply in the country with the coming in of Unit 7.
But you will be cognisant that it’s not yet available commercially. It is still going through some tests,” Soda said.
As we speak, it’s still being tested. So we don’t expect the Zimbabwe Electricity and Transmission Distribution Company (ZETDC) to revise its load-shedding schedule soon.

On Tuesday, 04 April 2022, ZPC was generating 1 071 megawatts split as 709MW from Hwange Power Station, Kariba (350MW) and 12MW from Munyati while Harare and Bulawayo produced zero.
On Wednesday, 05 April 2022, Hwange was generating 412MW, Kariba, 350MW, Munyati, 13MW, Harare, 0, and Bulawayo 0, to give a total of 775MW.
