The completion date for the $2.3bn Chinese-sponsored Kafue Gorge Lower (KGL) hydropower scheme in southern Zambia has been pushed back after a surge in cases of the South African coronavirus strain. Planned to produce 750MW on completion, KGL will be Zambia’s third biggest power station after the 1,080MW Kariba North Bank and the 990MW Kafue Gorge Upper and will help to reduce the current 810MW supply deficit.
