from OBERT SIAMILANDU in Kariba, ZimbabweZimbabwe BureauKARIBA, (CAJ News) – THE Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) requires about US$5 million (R95 million) to revamp its thermal station in the capital city and eventually increase electricity output. The revamp of the Harare Thermal Power Station is anticipated to increase output from the current 5MW to around 30 MW. “The US$5 million will only be able to get us to get the other turbine that is meant for rehabilitation to be brought back to life,” said Eng. “When we talk about bringing the whole power station to the stream, we need far much more than that. Kariba Hydro Power Station reportedly produced 600MW this year, up from an average of 400MW to 500MW.
