MPHANDA NKUWA HYDROPOWER PROJECT
Location: Zambeze River, 60 Km downstream of Cahora Bassa dam (Mozambique)
Run-of-river dam (90 m high)
Capacity:1500 MW
Reservoir: 100 km2
Cost: 2 Billion $US

HYDROPOWER: A Key Tool for Sustainable Development
Environmental Caution
• Renewable resource• Supporting biodiversity by providing new habitats• Avoiding air pollution• Slowing down climate change• Reducing acid rain by offsetting other forms of
power generation (as coal thermal plants)
HYDROPOWER: A Key Tool for Sustainable Development
Social JusticeAlleviating poverty by encouraging economic
development and bringing water, power and light to those in need
Providing wider access to a resource that is not evenly distributed in time and space
Offsettig adverse climate impacts and preserving finite resources for future generations
Passing on an electricity source with long viability and low maintenance costs for the benefit of future generations

associated fauna”
