Currently there is an energy daily deficit of between 300 to 400 MW. In that regard the Zimbabwe Power Company is refurbishing small thermal power stations to add power to the national power grid and has already appointed contractors for the three thermal stations.

Given the growing demand for power and spiraling import bill, expansion of the existing Hwange Power Plant has been identified as key to alleviate the energy shortfall. The existing plant is thermal in nature with a large part using coal as power inputs.

This is a water and sanitation project being undertaken by Victoria Falls Municipality. The project is estimated to cost is US$12 million and will be funded through debt. The project will involve the rehabilitation of current water facilities.
