It’s really good progress coming up with measures to solve power issues currently facing the country, however, this should not be at all costs. I hope through consideration has been made as regards potential environmental hazards as a result of such a coal mining plant. It would be interesting to know what measures are put in place to protect the environment, the land, the local population of the area, and the surrounding areas from potential polluting effects of such a plant. The hazardous effects of such a plant can be seen even generations to come among others in terms of… Read more »

Great effort. How much coal will we import? At what price? Do we have the forex? Certainly no…..Can we revamp the greener hydro power? Where will the forex for the coal come from. ..have we lined any import substitution or exporting industries to justify allocation of forex. ..

This is very positive. All other issues can be discussed later.

Our green sources of energy are letting us down. Industry is really suffering. The least we can do is add alternative power sources to the national grid and even export power instead of always importing.

Next on the cards needs to be the revamping of distribution at ESCOM as they are currently failing to extend the national grid to the rural areas. Serious targets should be set by MERA and which should cost the top people their jobs if not met.

Keep on fire burning Mr Gondwe. Such devolopment is very important as investors can’t establish their businesses in a country where there is frequent power cut.
