ZRA Cuts Kariba Dam Water Allocation For Electricity Generation

ZRA Cuts Kariba Dam Water Allocation For Electricity Generation

Zimbabwe’s electricity crisis will not end any time soon after the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) this week cut the amount of water allocated to ZESA and ZESCO for power generation at Kariba Dam.

ZESA and Zambia’s power utility ZESCO, equally share water at Kariba Dam for power generation.

ZRA executive officer Munyaradzi Munodawafa told Business Times that ZESA and ZESCO are now utilising 15 billion cubic metres each from 22.5 billion cubic metres, which was allocated for the year 2022.

Speaking to the publication on the sidelines of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair International Business Conference on Wednesday, Munodawafa said:

We have cut the water allocation to 15 billion cubic metres each from 22.5 billion metres with immediate effect.

Last week, we concluded our water allocation reviews and have since written to the power utilities to adhere to the new limits. We are also going to limit their generation load.

According to Business Times, this is the second worst allocation in the history of ZRA.

The worst allocation was effected in 1995, when ZRA allocated 11 billion cubic metres to the power utilities.

Munodawafa said the reason for the cut is that the region as a whole did not receive normal to above normal as had been forecasted. He said:

But this did not happen. On the Zimbabwe side, Gwayi River did not register any flow into the lake Kariba. There were, however, some flashes from Sanyati River.

The Angolan catchment which usually supplies more water into Lake Kariba was also below what it used to do.

But what is funny is that the Kafue catchment in Zambia is actually spilling.

However, we will not be that strict until the end of the winter agriculture season in July.

After July, we will be tough with ZESA and ZESCO. Next year, it’s likely to be worse.

The water cuts come as ZESA this week said it has been engaging ZRA for “more water allocation”.

ZESA general manager, stakeholder relations, communications and welfare, George Manyaya said told Business Times they haven’t received the letter yet from ZRA on the latest water allocation cut.

The impeccable ingenuousness on the administration of the slap ensured that the impact would be so evenly distributed around my body zvekuti ndakanzwa even pasi petsoka kupisa : I applauded my anal sphincter muscles for retaining their integrity and not buckling under immense pressure to release the contents of my rectum which would have absolutely depleted the little remaining bundles of dignity.

✈✈🍌🍌🤤🤤So why should people vote for Zanu-PF when the Ministry of Energy has been promising us a normal flow of electricity, takanyeperwa many times. Pliz nyarai woooo ana ED they are campaigning and there is no one ane brain iri straight who will vote for ED and his government to go for another 5 years. . Pliz youths of Zimbabwe make sure you encourage your friends and families who are of age to Vote for CCC coz under ED Zim is going to be a haven of Criminals. Hazvichaiti izvi we need change. #RESPECT!!!

✈✈🍌🍌 What a Historic Day this is, Miss Jessica and Bvumbururu have finally spoken. I used to hear people say I should deal with you, you know on the comment section. It's funny that after this long u and I had never crossed paths before, it's crazy. I am sure you have seen the hard life the youths of Zimbabwe have been living in. Worse the parents who are still staying with their over 30 and 40 year old children. Believe it or not but that's the reality, we have 40 year olds who aren't employed and they are still living with their parents and their wives and kids. i know some in my hood, they just go to bars with pocket money from their parents. Sometimes mumwre anototumwa nevabereki to go and buy fruits and veggies at mbare musika. Its bad and seeing grown men like that with kids strugglingg for another 5 years no no no Jessica have a heart. Vanotombo ndikwereta mari I give the few that I have coz they need it more. #RESPECT!!!
¹Miss Jessica✅ · 1 year ago
@bvu I would be inhumane to say I don't feel all that Sir, neither am I suggesting that giving H.E 'ED more 5 years is so that they suffer further. You could write a thousand things his government failed to achieve but I bet you'd find a few amenities in there too, and it's in those amenities I hold on to.

✈✈🍌🍌 @Miss Jessica, let me see well, you support Zanu becoz your family benefited certain things from it or your parents are part of Zanu? I learnt with some classmates who had parents who worked at the Presidents's office during Mugabe's reign, they praised Bob becoz their parents were rich. One of my classmates was the daughter of Banda a top CIO under Mugabe. She told me in our last year that her dad worked for Bob, they were very rich. They had a Benz a Kompressor and BMW x5 those days ndodzaiva mota dzaipisa. So every Zanu supporter is self-centered u are doing it for your own personal interests and assets. CCC supporters want a better life for everyone, for every Zimbabwean family. That's how human we are. #RESPECT!!!
¹Miss Jessica✅ · 1 year ago
@bvu That's a wrong perspective of zanu pf my friend. Few bad apples yes, just like any other political party right. You see i'm a farmer, I believe if i sow seeds surely I will harvest something & I'm practical like that. What's not practical to me is how sure are you that Chamisa can solve some of Zimbabwe's current problems. How does he intends to handle our mineral resources people have been talking about since that Aljezeera documentary, what guarantees do I have that I'll keep farming, how will he stabilize the ZWL, the brain drain in the health and educational sectors, you mentioned struggling folks from your neighborhood right- how will they have a better life if chamisa takes over, the electricity crisis, etc. These are all practical questions. Look at his current political support, he's literally alone with his supporters, noone wants to associate himself with something they're not aware of.

If you give ideas, Zanu PF is clever enough to quickly pick those ideas and implement them. Divulging ideas prematurely only serves to extend the longliv
