Malawi Surging Ahead With Plan to Restore Erratic Power Supply
Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera says his administration is determined to triple the country's power base in an effort to end blackouts for decades to come. Chakwera said that his government is creating what he described as endless avenues for electricity-dependent economic activities that have never been possible in this country.
The president said that the Kapichira Power Plant, which suffered extensive damage from the tropical cyclone Ana early this year, which triggered the current spate of blackouts across the country, will be back on line by end of the year. The power generation capacity will be increased from less than 400 megawatts to 1,000 megawattts by 2025.
