Zimbabwe’s Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) Holdings has announced that two units at the Hwange Power Station would undergo scheduled maintenance in March and April, potentially affecting power supply.
Hwange Unit 7 went offline on Sunday, March 2, 2025, and the Class B maintenance is expected to be completed on March 29, 2025, while Unit 6 would undergo statutory maintenance from March 15 to May 14.
According to ZESA, the maintenance is necessary to ensure the units are ready for increased generation during the peak winter season.
The company has assured the public that measures are in place to maintain a stable power supply during the maintenance period.
ZESA said Kariba Power Station would be managed carefully to address periods of low supply, with output adjusted as necessary to conserve water for future use.
ZESA apologised for any inconvenience the maintenance may cause and thanked customers for their understanding.
