Sinohydro gets Zimbabwe power project by default
Print Edition
THE Zimbabwean government has handed a US$1.3 billion thermal power generation project to China’s Sinohydro Corp after another Chinese company failed to conclude the contract, a minister said yesterday.
Energy minister Dzikamai Mavhaire said the tender for the expansion of the Hwange power station had been awarded initially to China Machinery and Engineering Co (CMEC).
But “CMEC failed to conclude the contract within the stipulated time frame agreed with the Zimbabwe Power Co and the government of Zimbabwe, hence the tender was canceled in May 2014,” he said.
Sinohydro’s bid for the project was the next best, Mavhaire said.
He described the Hwange power station project, which is set to add two generating units of 300 megawatts each, as “one of our major priorities.”
Zimbabwe experiences power shortages owing to low production resulting in regular outages in households and industries.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority generates 1,300 megawatts against a demand of 2,100MW.
