Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 7 Now 99% Complete - Soda

Energy and Power Development Minister Zhemu Soda has said the expansion of the Hwange Thermal Power Station’s Unit 7 is 99 percent complete, with only the synchronisation of the whole system set to be done.

The Unit is expected to add 300MW to the national grid upon completion.

Addressing journalists in Harare, Soda said the synchronisation will be completed anytime this month. The Herald quoted Soda as saying:

Hwange Unit 7 has actually progressed with all other systems having undergone commissioning tests and they were successful.
One of the critical stages in the commissioning of a power station is the achievement of certain revolutions of the turbine and that was achieved.

We are only left with the synchronisation of the whole system starting from where the coal is burnt, steam is produced, turbines are turned and causes the generator to produce electricity which is evacuated into the grid.
We expect that anytime from now given that the whole system is 99 percent complete; we are only left with one percent which is the synchronisation of the whole system.

Work on the project started in August 2018 using an initial $199 million from China Eximbank but its completion was delayed by the outbreak of the coronavirus in late 2019.

According to the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) website, on Monday, 13 February, Hwange Thermal Power Station was generating 378MW.

Unit 7 should be up by now we should be concerned about progress of unit 8 or doing some refurbishment of other units unfortunately we're trying to buy votes using **** procedures. Well ue have won 70% of Zimbos will fall for it. They akways do cause there are **** enough to be easily brain washed using 5KGs of rice or maize seed after to have been received it 5 yrs back.

In almost 43 years of independence no new power plant has been established in zimbabwe considering the population growth, nw they parade the new units 7 n 8 as if there game changers but they forget the other units at hwange have passed there expected life span n continously breakdown and also there is need for a green revolution were clean sustainable energy is needed to fight climate change not more fosil fuel

Hwange was commissioned in 1983 silly

Mafirakureva · 2 years ago

@X, it may have been COMMISSIONED in 1983, but when was it planned and constructed? Certainly BEFORE INDEPENDENCE. It is you who is SILLY.

I hope 'Caustic' Soda Zhemu knows what he is talking about If one reads through that article there doesn't seem to be any time frame He says any time this month Let's wait and see

It has been 99% complete for the last 2½years according to this government. In December they said it would be on stream by January 2023, now its February and all we are getting are excuses after excuses.
