[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] ..... Most Zambians don't have electricity. The ones that do are primarily the white plantation owners.... but to hear you tell it these whites are living in poverty. And that school in Kenya is run by whites, even if blacks go there and there are a lot of white students there. It does not represent the education system for the majority of Kenyans.[/qb][/QUOTE]Zambia produces so much electricity it exports power to 4 Muurish African country. Dog read and get an education: [QUOTE] Lion says: Zambia exports power to several of its neighbours, however, only eighteen percent of the Zambian population have access to electricity. There are two major power entities in Zambia. ZESCO (Zambian Electricity Supply Company Ltd.) is the national authority and went up for privatisation in 1999. ZESCO generates power and is responsible for transmission and distribution. The other power organisation is CAPC (Central African Power Corporation). CAPC is jointly owned by Zambia and Zimbabwe. The two countries share equally the costs and output of the corporation. CAPC exploits the hydro potential of the Kariba complex, which consists of the Kariba North and Kariba South power stations, Kariba dam and any future dams which may be constructed on the Zambezi river. Lake Kariba is the collection point for a vast catchment area spanning several millions of square kilometres. The Upper Catchment extends over the western half of Zambia and into Angola. The Lower Catchment covers a large part of Zimbabwe and is fed by the lake, Cahora Bassa in Mozambique. Lake Kariba itself is about 300 km long and the international boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe runs down the middle of the lake. CAPC operates the dam and the two Kariba power stations. ZESCO is responsible for bulk sales in Zambia and for the cost of generation at Kafue and Victoria Falls power stations. The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) is responsible for the costs of Bulawayo, Harare, Hwange and Munyati thermal power stations which link into the system. CAPC operates a transmission system from Kariba connecting into both the Zambian and the Zimbabwe networks. The system consists of 330 kV overhead lines linking Kariba and is paid for by the two national utilities. Zambia has an installed power capacity of 2500 MW, with 705 MW of this power coming from facilities at Kariba. The Government has paid K3 billion towards the electrification of the Kaputa district of the country. 121community-based organisations and 9 schools in rural areas of Zambia will be getting BP Solar panels to generate electricity for lighting, radio, television and refrigeration. The panels will be supplied by Apex-BP Solar, a subsidiary of BP France, which has been awarded a contract through its distributor Electrical Maintenance Lusaka Limited (EML) by Zambia Social Investment Fund. Apex-BP Solar will supply, the solar panels, EML will deliver and install the panels and also train their users in various schools and health centres in Zambia. The project will produce a peak power of almost 250 kilowatts (kWp). Zambia Social Investment Fund, a unit of the Ministry of Finance and National Planning, is managing a development credit agreement signed with the International Development Association (IDA). EML, which is based in Lusaka began its activities in 1964 and focused on electrical contracting services and maintenance. It has expanded over the years and employed at its peak a total staff of 600 employees active in various fields including the manufacture of electrical light fittings, domestic and security lighting, distribution boards and motor control centres. EML has succeeded in the last few years to become one of the major players in the solar industry in Zambia.
