US$3,6 Million Required For Hwange Power Station Refurbishment
Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 6 is set to undergo a major refurbishment that will cost US$3,6 million.
This was revealed by Energy and Power Development Deputy Minister, Magna Mudyiwa, who also said that Units 1 to 5 are currently producing 500 megawatts. Said Mudyiwa:
The current project of revamping Unit 6 is estimated to cost Euro 3,3million (US$3,6 million), while the major overhaul of Unit 3 will cost US$28 million.
FeedbackThere are two approaches on Hwange; the first is to bring back Unit 6 and the second is to carry out Unit 3 major overhaul.
Hwange Power Station has an installed capacity of 920 megawatts but the current generation at the plant is down to 500 megawatts due to old equipment.
