6. Kariba Project Update

7. BACKGROUND Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of 2 x 150MW of hydro-electric power plant units at Kariba Power Station. The project EPC cost with the contractor, Sinohydro, is USD 369 million. Financial closure for the project was achieved in October 2014 and the project officially commenced on 10 November 2014. The 40 month construction project is expected to be completed by 10 March 2018.

8. PROJECT STATUS On-Site Works Civil Infrastructure – Powerhouse, etc. – 31 % overall completion Off-Shore Works Electro-Mechanical – 21 % overall completion Hydro-Mechanical – 2 % overall completion Electrical Equipment (evacuation) – 10% (Procurement Stage) Aggregated Project Progress - 33%

9. Hwange Project Update

10. BACKGROUND EPC of 2 x 300MW of coal fired power plant units at Hwange Power Station. The Project includes the establishment of transmission infrastructure to evacuate the power. Project Financing is being sourced from China Exim Bank, DFIs, local and regional banks such as Stanbic Bank. FIDIC Silver Book was adopted: where the contractor does the full design (engineering), procurement, construction and commissioning of the project. ZPC takes over the plant after commissioning.

11. PROJECT STATUS USD 1.174 billion EPC Contract signed with Sinohydro on 10 October 2014. Total funding requirement is estimated at USD 1.518 billion. Generation license and EIA certificate have already been secured. ZPC and Sinohydro have jointly pooled together USD 3 million for initial works. Sinohydro to complete initial works in December 2015. ZPC is currently working towards financial closure. Official commencement of project to come soon after financial close.

13. FUNDING IMPLICATIONS A total of about USD 6.5 billion is required to fully fund all of ZPC’s projects. Of this amount, the total of EPC costs is USD 4 billion. The balance of the funding requirements will cater for finance costs, development costs (generation licences, EIAs, CPI movements, consultants etc…) and running costs. Funding Challenges Funding these projects has proved challenging when ZPC presents ZETDC as the off-taker. Most financial institutions feel that ZETDC is not a credible off-taker. Given the legacy loans on the ZPC balance sheet, most institutions prefer a clean entity hence the formation of an SPV for the Kariba project. For security reasons, revenue from existing power plants is ring fenced to the expansion or refurbishment of that particular power plant, leaving greenfield power plants like solar and CBM to be project financed.

14. CONCLUSION Zimbabwe has been plagued with a power deficit since 2007, when electricity demand exceeded its supply. According to ZETDC’s System Development Plan, the power demand forecast is expected to reach about 3000MW by 2020. The projects must be funded with long term financing. The loans must be acquired at primarily concessionary rates. There is need for ZPC to export some power for the purposes of raising funds to increase generation capacity. The projects must be funded with long term financing. The loans must be acquired at primarily concessionary rates. There is need for ZPC to export some power for the purposes of raising funds to increase generation capacity. In order to increase the amounts of reliable capacity, there is need for investment in the sector, which in turn will make the country more competitive. The critical success factor is the required funding to implement the projects.
