ZESCO has said that rehabilitation works on the fourth generator at the Kariba NorthBank Power Station has been extended for three months. This is due to an electrical fault which occurred on the generator during commissioning tests.
The generator which was scheduled to come into commercial operation on July 15, 2012 was expected to add one hundred and eighty Mega Watts on the national grid and reduce the impact of load shedding.
This is contained in a statement made available to ZNBC News in Lusaka on Sunday.
The Contractor Alstom France and ZESCO Engineers on site are working around the clock to ensure that repair works arising from the electrical fault are completed on time considering that some materials have to be ordered abroad.

Nothing changes except we are changing leaders at ZESCO without addressing real issues. The problem is nepotism which has taken over the need to employ leaders who can inject into the ZESCO system new thinking to help solve the re- capitalization or investiment in this sector. PF you have chance to change the recruitment process for key positions, so that experience and qualification take centre stage compare to nepotism
sata what is happening with zesco guys? they have failed and trying to frustrate your efforts. load shedding and now they are saying they have extended the maintaenance for another three months. is it because you dont have load sheding at state house? why cant you fire them?
Astolm and zesco engineers, dont hurry things up, do a good thing once and for all, we can afford to wait three more months as long as we are assured of no load shedding afterwards
This company is slowly becoming useless for the country. People need other sources of energy. Solar is the way to go…….Kali kalipa akasuba mu Zambia!
