Zimbabwe gets 10-hour electricity cuts as drought hits hydro power.
An official of the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority inspects water levels on the Kariba Dam in Zimbabwe. File photoZimbabwe has implemented 10-hour a day power cuts countrywide to avert the risk of running out of electricity within four months.
“We had very little in terms of rainfall influence into the lake and we have reached a point whereby the power generation has scaled down. If we do not scale down, we may have to shut down the entire situation around October because we won’t be having water,” said Zesa spokesman Fullard Gwasira. “The patterns that we depend on are not from Zimbabwe, it is from Zambia and DRC. Their significant rainfall upkeep should be able to rejuvenate the situation as the year progresses,” Gwasira said.
