In recent years, the country liberalised its energy sector in a bid to promote the participation of private capital but most of the projects have failed to take off. Two projects with a capacity of contributing 200,5MW have been commissioned but are not operational while seven with a capacity of 57,9MW are under construction.

'We are not satisfied with progress being made by IPPs in developing projects since most of them are not yet operational, only 16 projects are now operating,' said Zera acting chief executive officer Mr Eddington Muzambani. However, only 16 projects are operating contributing 131,276 (MW) to the grid. The energy regulator has to date licensed 61 IPPs with a combined capacity of contributing 6 671,886 megawatts (MW) to the national grid. Zera has also expressed dismay at the rate at which most of the IPPs are taking time to operationalise their projects as the country moves to reduce its power deficit.

The licencees must be given the right to explain themselves around the issue of non-performance because at the end of the day, we cannot hang onto people that keep licences for speculative purposes,' he said. We cannot have a long list of licences which are not productive. 'If we are satisfied that there is unjustified pilgrimage around implementation of the projects, then the necessary action will be taken. We need to understand if there are specific challenges each particular licencee is facing,' he said.Īdv Chasi said failure by any licencee to justify the reason for non-operating, the ministry would be compelled to revoke such a licence. I have asked Zera (Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority) to examine the status of each licensed project to see exactly where we are with each of them. 'We need to quickly advance the execution of projects by all those who are licensed. In an interview after a tour of Bulawayo Power Station last Friday, Energy and Power Development Minister Advocate Fortune Chasi said there was a need to ensure that all the licensed power projects are started as soon as possible.

THE Government will consider revoking licences of Independent Power Producers failing to kick start their projects as it moves to reduce the power deficit grappling the country, a Cabinet Minister has said.
