Zimbabweans have experienced increased loadshedding this week, many have been wondering what is the problem. Thus the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has moved in to plug the information gap, notifying its valued stakeholders about the state of the national power grid and the challenges thereof.
In a statement, ZETDC highlighted that the power supply cut has been further compounded by low generation capacity at Kariba Power Station, resulting from low water levels.
“ZESA Holdings would like to advise its valued stakeholders that the national power grid is currently experiencing reduced electricity generation capacity due to a technical fault at Hwange Power Station. This has been further compounded by low generation capacity at Kariba Power Station, resulting from low water levels,” the ZETDC statement reads.
Meanwhile, ZETDC also emphasized that they are working to resolve the fault and apologized for the inconvenience caused.
“Our technical teams are actively working to resolve the fault at Hwange to minimize the impact on our customers. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused,” ZETDC stated.
