(ZNBC News)-

Zesco Limited is now only generating 250 Mega Watts of power at the Kariba North Bank Power Plant in Siavonga due to low water levels.

Zesco Director Power Generation WESLEY LWIINDI says this is out of an installed generation capacity of 1,080 Mega Watts of Power

Mr. LWIINDI says the power plant is only using two generators which are also not running at full capacity.

Mr. LWIINDI says this is is out of 6 generator units which have a capacity to produce 180 Mega Watts of electricity each.

He says the Kariba reservoir is experiencing low water levels that has led to a reduction in generation capacity in order to avert a total shutdown of the plant.

Mr. LWIINDI said this in an interview with ZNBC News at the Kariba North Bank in Siavonga District .
