While the country’s estimated peak demand for power is around 1800 megawatts, the country’s electricity generation capacity remains below national demand.

However, the nation continues to forge ahead in improving power generation, which is now averaging 1300 megawatts up from 600 megawatts last year.

Latest statistics indicate that Kariba Power Station is generating 875 megawatts, while Hwange is at 425 megawatts.
