Zim set to add 600MW to ease power cuts

ZIMBABWE is set to gain an additional 600 megawatts (MW) of electricity at the completion of Hwange’s Deka Upgradation Project, a landmark energy infrastructural development aimed at boosting power generation.

The Hwange project, implemented at a cost of US$48,1 million, was made possible through co-operation between the governments of Zimbabwe and India, with funding provided by the Indian Exim Bank.

The project includes the construction of a 42km pipeline which will supply water to Hwange Thermal Power Station and surrounding communities.
