Zimbabwe Energy Crisis Runs Deep

9/28/2015

 
​Recently, Zimbabwe’s power stations have suffered from a plunge in electricity generation from a daily demand of 2,000 megawatts (MW) to merely 958 MW. This drop is reflective of much deeper problems rooted in the country. A recent drop in the water levels of the Kariba Dam has caused Zimbabwe and Zambia to now only receive 474 MW instead of the 750 MW that they got previously. Many of these issues are due to the fact that many of the main power plants around the region are in need of immediate repair. The country is in a serious crisis. The power that the stations produce is not just critical for household lighting and consumption, but also to keep the country’s economy in tact.
