Reference excerpt

Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company Limited (LHPC), is an independent power producer (IPP) company based in the city of Kabwe in Zambia, with investments in the Central Province of the country. As of August 2022, the firm owns two operational hydroelectric power plants, with generation capacity of 58 MW. Another 455 MW, from two hydro power stations, are under development. The firm has ambitions to increase generation capacity to 500 MW in the medium term.

Location Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company maintains its headquarters in Kabwe, in Zambia's Central Province. Kabwe is located approximately 143 kilometres (89 mi) north of Lusaka, the capital and largest city in the country.

Overview The firm was established in the early 2000s. As of August 2022, it owns a generation portfolio of 58 megawatts, including Mulungushi Hydroelectric Power Station (40 megawatts) and Lunsemfwa Hydroelectric Power Station (18 megawatts). Both of these were acquired in 2001, with financial backing from the World Bank. It is also involved in the development of Muchinga Hydroelectric Power Station (200 MW) and the Lunsemfwa Lower Hydroelectric Power Station (255 MW).

Ownership The company is majority owned by Agua Imara ACA Pte Ltd, which is 100% owned by Agua Imara AS, a subsidiary of the Norwegian Development Finance Institution, Norfund. That acquisition took place in 2011. The shareholding in LHPC is illustrated in the table below.

Power stations The table below illustrates the power stations in Lunsemfwa Hydro Power's generation portfolio as of August 2022. The list is not all inclusive.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company

In research: Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2001 establishments in Zambia, Companies based in Kabwe, Electric power companies of Zambia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
