6 FAQs about [Zambia mozambique pumped hydropower storage project]

Does Zambia need hydropower?

In recent years, Zambia has been able to improve its electricity supply but remains largely dependent on hydropower. This dependency represents a risk to the security of supply, as evidenced by the return of scheduled load shedding at the end of 2022 until February 2023, due to low water levels on the Zambezi River.

How much does the Zambezi River energy project cost?

The Zambezi River energy project is valued at US$5 billion.

Why did Zambia cancel the Batoka hydropower plant contract?

Zambia's Energy Ministry confirmed the cancellation of the Batoka hydropower plant contract, citing concerns over adherence to proper procurement methods and the project's high costs. This decision aims to re-evaluate the project's financial aspects and explore more viable options.

Who constructed Angola's Laúca hydropower station?

The 2,070MW Laúca hydropower station in Angola was constructed by ANDRITZ. It is now fully operational, contributing to the country's energy supply and socioeconomic development, with plans for a green hydrogen project in partnership with German companies.

Why is Angola launching a hydropower project?

Angola is embarking on ambitious hydropower projects, such as the 2,172MW Caculo-Cabaca hydropower station in collaboration with China, to enhance regional power integration and meet growing demand. It is also aiming to connect to the Southern African Power Pool.

Which countries are developing a hydro power plant?

In Zimbabwe, which has a potential of more than 17,000 GWh, some major projects are planned in cooperation with Zambia. Also, more than 100 MW of small hydro schemes have been identified. In Lesotho a feasibility study on a pumped storage plant is underway.
