AFRY to conduct studies for a large hydro plant in Zambia

AFRY has been awarded a contract by the Zambezi River Authority, a bilateral organization jointly owned by Zambia and Zimbabwe, to update the feasibility study and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Batoka Gorge hydro scheme. The facility will be located in the Batoka Gorge, approximately 47 km downstream of Victoria Falls, and is expected to have an installed capacity of up to 2400 MW.

As part of the assignment, AFRY will review the previous study and update it with a detailed study that evaluates the technical, economic and operational viability of the project with an objective to optimize the layout and the operation of the plant.

The scope also includes a careful examination of the project design, with specific focus on hydrology and climate change, installed capacity, reservoir operation and energy production, and the corresponding transmission system.

AFRY’s assignment also involves the updating of the environmental and social impact assessments and reviewing of the implementation schedule and preparing tender documents.
