Zambians are now to cope with the new updated 12 hours of load shedding of power daily.
The state-owned company explained that its “ability to meet power demand” remained “constrained by the drastic reduction in available water in the Kariba reservoir.
According to authorities, “the power station’s generating capacity has been reduced from its installed 1080 Megawatts (MW) to below 400MW.”
Zambia’s power crisis has been worsened by the outage of a 150MW generator at Maamba Collieries Limited Power Plant for routine annual maintenance until January 20.
