Tashar Wutar Lantarki ta Kapichira

Tashar Wutar Lantarki ta Kapichira wata tashar wutar lantarki ce ta ruwa a magudanar ruwa ta Kapachira da ke kan kogin Shire a Malawi . Tana da karfin wutar lantarki mai karfin 128 megawatts (172,000 hp), wanda ya isa ya samar da wutar lantarki ga gidaje 86,000, tare da 32 megawatts (43,000 hp) saitin samar da wutar lantarki. An haɓaka tashar wutar lantarki a matakai, inda matakin farko ya ƙunshi shigar da injinan samar da wutar lantarki guda biyu masu ƙarfin megawatts 32 na farko. An buɗe Mataki na I na tashar wutar lantarki a hukumance a watan Satumba na 2000. A watan Janairun 2014, a wani biki da shugabar Malawi a wancan lokacin, Joyce Banda, ta halarta, an kunna kashi na biyu na aikin samar da wutar lantarki ta Kapichira, wanda ya ninka megawatts 64 da ake da su a yanzu zuwa matsakaicin ƙarfin wutar lantarki na megawatts 128. Wuri Tashar wutar lantarki tana a fadin Kogin Shire, a gundumar Chikwawa, a yankin Kudancin Malawi, kimanin 70 kilometres (43 mi), ta hanya, kudu maso yamma da Blantyre, babban birnin kuɗi kuma birni mafi girma a ƙasar. Daidaito na yanki na wannan tashar wutar lantarki sune: 15°53'45.0"S, 34°45'14.0"E (Latitude:-15.895833; Longitude:34.753889). Bayani Kowace na'ura tana aiki a kan wani katafaren kai na 54 metres (177 ft) da kuma fitar da ruwa na 67 cubic metres per second (2,400 cu ft/s) . An gina tashar wutar lantarki a matakai biyu, inda aka kammala mataki na farko a shekarar 2000. Mataki na biyu mai irin wannan karfin wutar lantarki na 64 megawatts (86,000 hp) a matsayin mataki na farko, an kammala shi a shekarar 2014 kuma an fara aiki da shi a ranar 31 ga Janairun 2018. Gine-gine An gina kashi na farko na tashar wutar lantarki da kuɗaɗen da aka aro daga wasu abokan hulɗa na ci gaba na duniya, ciki har da KfW, Bankin Zuba Jari na Turai, Kamfanin Raya Ƙasashen Waje na Commonwealth, Bankin Duniya, da Kamfanin Raya Ƙasa na Netherlands .

An ba da kwangilar mataki na biyu ga Kamfanin China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC) kuma ya haɗa da shigar da sabbin injinan turbine guda biyu, kowannensu yana da ƙarfin samar da megawatt 32. An kammala aikin a watan Janairun 2014. Lalacewar guguwa da gyare-gyare A ranar 24 ga Janairun 2022, guguwar Ana ta afkawa madatsar ruwa da tashar wutar lantarki, inda ta yi barna mai tsanani, lamarin da ya haifar da rufewar ginin. Wannan ya haifar da asarar kimanin karfin samar da wutar lantarki na MW 130, wanda ya yi daidai da kusan kashi 30 cikin 100 na yawan samar da wutar lantarki a kasar. A watan Yunin 2022, Lazarus Chakwera, shugaban Malawi, ya sanar da cewa Bankin Duniya ya ba Malawi MWK: biliyan 60 (dala miliyan 60) don gyara da kuma gyara Tashar Wutar Lantarki ta Kapichira. Bayan waɗannan gyare-gyare, ana sa ran cewa sabon ƙarfin samar da wutar lantarki zai zama megawatts 135. Manazarta
