Kafue Power Board Executive Summary — April 2026

For: MD, Board of Directors

Kafue Power's AI management systems have identified two critical infrastructure emergencies requiring immediate board attention: (1) Kitwe 330kV substation transformer approaching imminent failure (TTF: 22 days, USD 4.2M emergency CAPEX required) and (2) Victoria Falls Unit 2 turbine bearing failure predicted within 12 days (ZMW 680,000 overhaul). Together these assets represent 138MW of generation and transmission capacity serving approximately 99,200 customers. The Q2 2026 drought scenario projects ZMW 688M revenue reduction against the ZMW 8.2B baseline. Five large industrial accounts carry ZMW 8.3M in overdue receivables requiring commercial escalation. The Ndola Equipment Supply contract expires in 45 days — immediate renewal action is required to secure critical spare parts supply.

Key Findings

Asset Risk

Victoria Falls Unit 2 turbine bearing will fail catastrophically within 12 days if not taken offline for emergency overhaul

18MW generation loss, 8-day planned outage, ZMW 680,000 maintenance cost. Risk of uncontrolled failure: USD 2–4M replacement and 3–4 month outage.

Asset Risk

Kitwe 330kV transformer has 22-day time-to-failure prediction with 94% confidence — serving 81,000 customers and SAPP export interconnect

250MW transmission capacity loss, 81,000 customers affected, USD 4.2M emergency CAPEX, 6-week delivery lead time creates 6-week risk gap.

Financial

Q2 2026 drought scenario projects ZMW 688M revenue shortfall against ZMW 8.2B baseline — driven by 380MW hydro capacity reduction

EBITDA reduction of 12.1%. Fuel cost increase of ZMW 45M from increased Maamba Thermal dispatch. Tariff review submission to ERB recommended.

Revenue

NTL at 14.3% average across 6 monitored feeders — Chipata Feeder 2 at 28.5% and Ndola Industrial at 23.5% represent highest priority investigation targets

Estimated ZMW 38M annual revenue loss attributable to non-technical losses across monitored feeders.

Legal

Ndola Equipment Supply contract expiring 30 April 2026 with no auto-renewal clause — 90-day notice period already elapsed

Risk of critical spare parts supply interruption for Ndola and Kitwe substations from May 2026. Three non-compliant clauses require legal remediation before renewal.

Strategic Recommendations

1.Approve Victoria Falls Unit 2 emergency overhaul (ZMW 680,000) and Kitwe transformer emergency CAPEX (USD 4.2M) as a matter of urgency at this board meeting

2.Mandate Finance to escalate the 5 overdue industrial accounts (ZMW 8.3M) to formal demand notice within 7 days, with supply restriction backstop for accounts >60 days overdue

3.Direct Legal to conclude Ndola Equipment Supply contract renewal within 21 days — authorise MD to approve amended terms without further board referral given urgency

4.Approve Drought Response Plan activation: demand response programme, Mansa 50MW solar fast-track commissioning, and SAPP import contract with Mozambique EDM

5.Endorse Bangweulu Solar Phase 2 (30MW, USD 28.5M) for formal CAPEX approval process — IRR of 14.2% supports strategic case against drought exposure

6.Request bi-weekly AI operational intelligence briefings to MD and Board until Kitwe and Victoria Falls critical risks are resolved

Immediate Actions Required

Approve Victoria Falls Unit 2 emergency overhaul — take unit offline April 5, arrange SAPP 15MW import from Mozambique EDM

MD + Generation Director · April 4, 2026

Sign off Kitwe transformer emergency CAPEX (USD 4.2M) — award to preferred supplier with expedited delivery

MD + Finance Director · April 5, 2026

Issue formal demand notices to Mopani Copper Mines (ZMW 4.2M, 45 days overdue) and Indeni Petroleum (ZMW 1.45M)

Finance Director · April 7, 2026

Notify PowerTech Engineering of intention to renew Ndola contract and initiate legal review of non-compliant clauses

Legal Director + Procurement · April 10, 2026

Activate Chipata and Ndola NTL investigation teams — field audit to begin immediately

Distribution Director · April 8, 2026

Conclusion

Kafue Power faces a critical 30-day window requiring decisive action on two asset emergencies and three commercial/legal matters. The AI management platform has provided early warning that enables proactive intervention — the alternative (reactive failure) would cost multiples of the proposed expenditure in both financial and reputational terms. With approved emergency interventions, the Q2 outlook stabilises and the medium-term outlook — supported by drought response activation, NTL reduction and industrial collections — remains constructive. The board is requested to approve the immediate actions tabled above.
