Kafue Gorge Lower Power Station

Kafue Gorge Lower Power Station (KGL), is a 750 megawatts (1,010,000 hp) hydroelectric power station in Zambia. Background As of 2017, according to USAID, Zambia had installed generating capacity of 2,800 megawatts. Of these, 2,380 megawatts (85 percent) was hydroelectricity. Peak electricity demand in Zambia has been recorded at 1,960 megawatts, with growth in electricity demand estimated at between 150 MW and 200 MW every year. Approximately 70 percent of national electricity output is consumed by the country's mines in the Copperbelt Province. In October 2015, after the requisite feasibility and environmental studies, the engineering, procurement and construction contract was awarded to Sinohydro, a Chinese, state-owned hydropower engineering and construction company. The contract price is reported as US$2 billion, with 85 percent borrowed from the Exim Bank of China, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The government of Zambia was to invest the remaining 15 percent in the project. Location The power station is located along the Kafue River, between the Kafue Gorge Upper Power Station upstream and the confluence of the Kafue River with the Zambezi River downstream. The power station is located approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi), by road, south of Lusaka, Zambia's capital city. The geographical coordinates of Kafue Gorge Lower Power Station are:15°53'46.0"S, 28°33'33.0"E (Latitude:-15.896111; Longitude:28.559167). Construction Construction of the power station began in November 2015. As of July 2019, the contractor expected to conclude during the fourth quarter of 2020. During construction, over 3,000 jobs were created. In September 2019, construction of the dam and power station were halted due to financial difficulties. In July 2021, one of the five turbines (Turbine Number 2) was commercially commissioned to supply 150 megawatts to the Zambian national grid. In March 2023, last of the five turbines was started. President Hakainde Hichilema officially commissioned the power station. Throughout its construction, the project has created 15,000 local jobs and has significantly contributed to the growth of the local construction, trade, and transportation sectors. Additionally, it has spurred the development of infrastructure surrounding the hydropower station. After construction, the hydropower plant will boost Zambia's power capacity by nearly 38%. Funding The below table summarizes the funding sources for the power station alone, without the related power line, road and other infrastructure. Operations The power generated will be evacuated via a 330-kilovolt transmission line, measuring approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) to Lusaka, for integration into the national power grid.

ГЕС Kafue Gorge (нижня)

ГЕС Kafue Gorge (нижня) — гідроелектростанція в Замбії у п'ятдесяти кілометрах на південь від столиці країни Лусаки. Знаходячись після верхньої ГЕС в ущелині Кафуе, становить нижній ступінь каскаду на однойменному найбільшому лівому притоку річки Замбезі (басейн Індійського океану). За проектом річку перекриють у 17 км нижче по течії від греблі верхньої ГЕС Кафуе та у 5,9 км після виходу відвідного каналу останньої. Нова споруда буде виконана як кам'яно-накидна гребля з бетонним облицюванням висотою 140 метрів, довжиною 378 метрів та шириною по гребеню від 8 до 10 метрів. На правому березі біля греблі розташується підземний машинний зал розмірами 127х45 метрів та висотою 58 метрів. Вода подаватиметься до нього через тунелі довжиною біля 0,5 км (включаючи напірну шахту висотою 150 метрів) та діаметром від 4,8 до 3,9 метра. Основне обладнання становитимуть п'ять турбін типу Френсіс (на першому етапі планується змонтувати лише чотири) потужністю по 150 МВт, що працюватимуть при чистому напорі у 173,3 метра. Відпрацьована вода повертатиметься в річку по відвідному тунелю довжиною 4,6 км та діаметром 14,6 метра. Видача продукції відбуватиметься по ЛЕП, розрахованій на напругу 330 кВ. Електростанцію намагались збудувати починаючи з початку 2000-х років, проте серйозний поступ почався лише після укладання угоди щодо фінансування з Експортно-імпортним банком Китаю. Церемонія закладки відбулась осінню 2015-го, а в січні наступного року генеральний підрядник Sinohydro почав будівельні роботи. Вартість проекту оцінюється у 2 млрд доларів США. Примітки

Lake Kashiba

Lake Kashiba is situated southwest of Luanshya in Zambia, close to Mpongwe and St Anthony's Mission. Hydrography Lake Kashiba is best known for the several small, deep pools in the Ndola district called "The Sunken Lakes." They are found in limestone and were caused by the action of water on the rock, dissolving it and forming caves which eventually collapsed, leaving deep holes filled with water. Kashiba is the most impressive and means "small lake." It measures about 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) in area and the depth is about 70 metres at the south side and approximately 150 metres at the north side. The water level is about 10 metres (33 ft) below the surrounding forest, and through the clear blue water, fish are easy to see, mostly bream, with some carp Local legends Local legends prohibit from catching fish from Kashiba as they are unable to be cooked no matter the time. Kashiba is also said to contain a monster called “Ichitapa” or “lsoka lkulu.” When a man stands on the rocks at the lake’s edge, with his shadow over the water, the monster emerges from the depths and catches the shadow, doing so, the victim becomes paralyzed and falls into the water. But the best known of the legends of Kashiba goes back to the earliest history of the Lamba people, to Kabunda, son of Chipimpi, the chief who came from the west with seeds to plant the first gardens for the people. One day, when Chipimpi's people had finished plastering a grain store, he gave them all porridge to eat, but to Kabunda and his nephew, he gave a goat so that they might wash off the mud with the goat's blood. But Kabunda demanded the blood of a man, and Kapimpi gave him a slave to kill. Kabunda killed the slave with his hoe, saying: "Now we are the people of the Hair Clan, for we have killed a man with hair on his head. But you, my father and cousin, are people of the Goat Clan:' And Kabunda slew Chipimpi and became chief. In time, Kabunda began to ill-treat the younger relatives of Chipimpi, members of the Goat Clan, and they became angry, saying they were of the chief's clan and should not be treated thus. "Let us now kill ourselves! Let us see what will remain! Kabunda can remain, and the kingdom can be his!" So they all went to Kashiba, where they took all their goods and chattels, goats and chickens and dogs, and tied themselves together with a long rope and threw themselves into the lake. But a member of the Leopard Clan was at the end of the rope, and at the last moment, he cut it in front of his wife and carried her back to the village, where she became the mother of all the Goat Clan.

Lago Kashiba

El Kashiba es un lago hundido situado a 1050 m s. n. m., unos 65 km al suroeste de Luanshya, en el distrito de Ndola, Zambia.​ Se formó hace millones de años por colapso de la superficie rocosa, que sepultó una red de cavernas formando una hondonada de bordes afilados; de este modo, el lago tiene más de 100 metros de profundidad en sus extremos y se cree que bastante más en su interior, aunque no se ha constatado.​ Referencias

Chishi Island

Chishi Island (auch Chisi Island) ist eine Insel im Bangweulusee in Sambia. Beschreibung Die Insel hat eine Länge von knapp elf Kilometern, wobei der längere Südteil nur einige hundert Meter breit ist – der Norden der Insel ist dagegen bis vier Kilometer breit. Charakteristisch für Chishi ist die Nordost-Südwest-Ausrichtung der Insel, welche auch das Nordostufer des Sees sowie die größere Insel Mbabala aufweisen. Diese Formen sind womöglich Hinweise auf einen alten Einschlagkrater. Da sich Chishi in der Mitte des Bangweulusees befindet, ist die Insel im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Inseln des Sees bzw. des umliegenden Sumpflands auch in der Trockenzeit vollständig von Wasser umgeben. Auf dem Eiland leben einige Fischer in kleinen Dörfern. Einzelnachweise
