It has an installed capacity of {{convert|128|MW}}, enough to power over 86,000 homes, with four {{convert|32|MW}} generating sets. The power was developed in stages, with the first phase involving the installation of the first two 32 megawatts-generating turbines. Phase I of the power station was officially opened in September 2000.[1] In January 2014, in a ceremony attended by the president of Malawi at that time, Joyce Banda, the second phase of the Kapichira hydropower project was switched on, doubling the hitherto 68 megawatts to the maximum capacity of 128 megawatts.[2] LocationThe power station is located across the Shire River, in Chikwawa District, in the Southern Region of Malawi, approximately {{convert|70|km|0}}, by road, south-west of Blantyre, the financial capital and largest city in the country.[3][4] The geographical coordinates of this power station are: 15°53'45.0"S, 34°45'14.0"E (Latitude:-15.895833; Longitude:34.753889).[5] OverviewEach unit operates at a nominal head of {{convert|54|m}} and discharge of {{convert|67|m3/s}}. The power station was built in two phases, with the first phase completed in 2000.[6] The second phase with the same capacity of {{convert|64|MW}} as the first phase,was completed in 2014 and was commissioned on 31 January 2018.[2] ConstructionThe first phase of the power station was built with funds borrowed from several international development partners, including (a) KfW (b) the European Investment Bank (c) the Commonwealth Development Corporation and (d) the World Bank (e) the Netherlands Development Finance Company. The development partners jointly loaned US$131.1 million and the government of Malawi invested US$21.9 million, for a total of US$153 million.[7] The second phase was contracted to China Gezhouba Group Corporation (CGGC) and included the installation of two new turbines, each of capacity generation of 32 megawatts. Work was completed in January 2014.[2] See also{{stack|{{Portal|Malawi|Water|Renewable energy}}}}
