GOVERNMENT says that the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region has been affected with poor rainfall patterns for the last two years which has seen the poor generation of electricity among the 15 member countries.
Speaking during a church service at Kaunda Square’s Reformed Church of Zambia (RCZ), Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Mposha explains that out of the 15 countries in the SADC region, only Angola, Tanzania and Mozambique have a bit of energy surplus for their demand.
Mr. Mposha stated that out of the 70 000 megawatts installed capacity of electricity, the region has suffered a deficit of more than 10 000 MegaWatts which has forced many countries in the SADC region to start importing power from other countries.
