How Zim is implementing load shedding as power cuts continue | Fin24
Zimbabwe has started to institute planned rotational power cuts to reduce stress on its national grid, following low water levels at Kariba Dam, generation constraints at Hwange Power Station and limited imports from Eskom in South Africa and Mozambique.
The power supplier divided the country into seven regions, and then further into districts or suburbs. It has given each district or suburb a numerical code. The same suburbs or districts will not generally have power cuts over the same day’s morning and evening peaks. When load shedding moves to Stage 2 and"increases beyond the planned limit" power to additional suburbs will be cut. The power cuts will be in five or eight hour blocks in different areas of the region or district.
