Hwange Power Station’s new Unit 7, which was synchronised with the national grid on March 20, achieved full generation capacity of 335 MW on Thursday.
This was revealed by the contractor PowerChina on Friday.
“Output of Hwange Unit 7 first achieved full capacity of 335MW at 9.27am (on) March 30,” said PowerChina on Twitter.
The operationalisation of Unit 7 and 8 – expected to add a cumulative 600MW by mid-year – would naturally ease current power shortages.
