ZPC – POWER AND ENERGY PROJECTS
PRESENTED BY: DOUGLAS CHINGOKAZIMBABWE POWER COMPANY
Overview Electricity is a crucial input into the industry’s production
cycle. Zimbabwe is plagued by a shortage of power. Reliable capacity is of the order of 1320 MW against a
demand of about 2200 MW. There is need for investments to be made in order to increase
the amount of reliable capacity. The increase in reliable capacity should be made available at a
competitive price.
