- ZESA asks consumers to brace for load shedding
- Load shedding is due to challenges at the Hwange station
Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) has asked its customers to prepare for an imminent load shedding. In a statement released on Thursday, ZESA noted the imminent load shedding was due to the technical challenges at the Hwange power station as well as reduced imports from South Africa’s Eskom.
”ZESA Holdings would like to advise its valued customers countrywide that there is limited power supply in the national electricity grid due to technical faults at Hwange at 1141hrs yesterday. The depressed power supply situation has also been compounded by the unavailability of normal import levels due to the loss of interconnection to Eskom of South Africa”, the statement read.
”Customers are advised to use the available power very sparingly, and updates will be availed as the situation improves”, the statement continued. ZESA also apologised for any inconvenience the challenges may cause.
