    Disruption at Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd (NBV) owned Maamba 300MW geothermal plant has worsened Zambia’s load management. A generator failure at the power plant will impact power generation, during peak hours, for 15 days as confirmed by the power utility ZESCO communique. Most parts of the country are already experiencing rolling black outs exceeding the prescribed 4 hours as a consequence.

    Zambia currently grapples with energy deficit exacerbated by drought effects impacting dam levels at the Kariba weighing energy generation. The 273MW deficit has been apportioned across the sectors through a 4 hours blackout schedule to ease pressure of the grid. Manufacturing and mining productivity have been adversely affected by the energy poverty era.

    Zambia however will add more energy into the grid starting yearend with a number of pipeline power projects earmarked for completion with the Kafue gorge lower targeting 750MW by 2020.

    Maamba power plant is owned by Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd (NBV) is a diversified organisation with interests in power generation, ferro alloys, mining and agri-business.
