Background
In July 2012, Energy Minister Elton Mangoma told parliament that China Railway International and Zimbabwe's state power utility Zesa were planning to jointly run a coal mine that would supply a proposed 1,000 MW thermal power station. In September 2012 China's Guangdong Bureau of Coal Geology (CNACG) said it proposed a budget of about US$3.5 billion for a 1,200 MW power station in Zimbabwe. CNACG had reportedly held talks with Zimbabwe government officials over the thermal power project, which had yet to be finalized.[1]
As of 2018 there are no reports that the project has moved forward. Plans involving CNACG were likely abandoned.
