The Zambian government has assured Maamba Collieries of its support and said it would look into the challenges being faced by the company to keep its 300 MW coal-fired power plant running. Zambia’s Finance Minister Dr Bwalya Ng’andu and Energy Minister Matthew Nkhuwa, respectively, visited the company’s plant in Sinazongwe this past weekend to obtain a first-hand understanding of the operations of the thermal power plant, the challenges it faces, and to discuss ways to resolve the issues between Zambia State-owned Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation, and the country’s largest independent power producer.
