Farai Dziva| Power utility ZESA has claimed that load shedding will ease this week.

Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) said that load shedding will be eased this weekend.

ZESA claimed it implemented stage 2 of the load shedding schedule due to a technical fault at the Hwange Thermal Power Plant that had resulted in the loss of significant generation capacity.

The power cuts are expected to ease this week, according to the company.

“ZETDC has started restoring Hwange. One of the small units is now on the grid producing about 80MW tomorrow (Saturday) morning one of the big Units producing 160MW also goes on stream.”
