Hwange Unit 7 Achieves 335MW Full Capacity Output

Everything You Need To Know About Hwange Unit 7 and Why It Will Not end Load shedding!

Hwange Thermal Power Station’s Unit 7 first achieved a full capacity output of 335MW at 9:27 AM on Thursday 30th March 2023.

The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) managed to synchronise the first of two generators on Unit 7 into the national grid on Monday, 20 March after failing to do so several times.

The two generators make up the Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 7 and 8 Expansion Project being installed under a US$1.4 billion facility from China Eximbank.

Soon after the successful synchronisation of Unit 7 into the national grid, ZPC said power will be progressively fed into the grid until it reaches 300MW.

However, captains of industry said Unit 7 will not meaningfully end the current electricity challenges bedeviling the economy.
