Mozambique’s neighbors are struggling with generation shortfalls for several reasons. Zambia has had to implement a 12-hour electricity load-shedding program, which has recently been reduced to 8 hours per day.
Zimbabweans have been experiencing as much as 20 hours of load-shedding per day, and although the situation has improved slightly, citizens still experience long power cuts most days of the week. Zimbabwe has a generation shortfall of close to 1,000 MW. Zimbabwe and Zambia share the Kariba dam, where water levels are currently at record lows, forcing the two power companies to curtail generation.
Southern Africa is one of the regions on the African continent that has a regional power pool that is playing a key role in the electricity sector. As the penetration of variable renewables such as solar and wind increases, the power pool could play a critical role in enabling excess from these variable renewables to be exported to another part of the pool when needed.
