Project Overview
Zambia has undergone increased infrastructure and industrial development for the last decade which has led to increased power demand. The increased demand for electricity has led to increased power outages and load shedding in most parts of the country. The power deficit being experienced in the country has negatively affected homes and businesses. Therefore, the proposed provision of 300MW of thermal power into the national grid will contribute to reducing on-going load-shedding and will present an opportunity for the increased availability of power for continued productivity in Zambia.
Thermal power plants are power stations which convert heat energy into electric energy. Thermal power plant is a collective term which includes fossil fuels, geothermal, thermal and nuclear power plants as well as waste incineration plants. Thermal power plants are the most common type of power plant in the world, accounting for about 60% of global electricity generation. They are used to generate electricity from a variety of fuels, including coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear power.
In light of the foregoing, Mulungwa Power Generation Limited a Zambian registered company registered on 26th April 2023 intends to undertake the construction and operation of a 300MW thermal power plant within License No. 28318-HQ-LML (African Power Coal Limited mining license area) in Mulungwa village of Sinazongwe District in Southern Province.
Mulungwa Power Generation Limited is a Zambia registered entity (PACRA No. 120230049860) created as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the construction and operation of the 300MW Thermal Power Plant at Mulungwa Mine site including the power transmission line to either Maamba or Muzuma substation. Mulungwa Power Generation Limited, a Zambian registered company is proposing the development of a 300MW coal fired power generation facility in a key strategic location in terms of the connection to the Zambian main transmission grid and also with regard to the favorable availability of coal reserves as fuel for the proposed project. Mulungwa Power Generation Limited is a joint venture between two companies namely Africa Power Coal Limited (mining license holder) and Jiangsu Etern Company Limited.
