Maamba Power Station

The Maamba Power Station is a planned 300 to 600 MW coal-fired power station for Maamba, Zambia, by Maamba Collieries Limited (MCL), the largest coal mining company in Zambia. The station will be mine-mouth and fueled by low grade coal, a by-product of mining at MCL. The first 150 MW Unit is scheduled to be completed by October 2014, and the second 150 MW Unit by January 2015. The capacity may be increased to 600MW in the second phase, depending on demand for power in the region.
