Later in 2001, ZESCO LTD confirmed the potential of over 1188MW of which more than 773MW is firm capacity. However, previous project development plans were constrained because the development plans were only coordinated from one country despite the location of the river being on the border.</p><p>The project serves a planned infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is more than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector planned asset.<br></p>
