By A Correspondent- ZESA said power shedding that has been experienced in most parts of the country in the past few days was caused by a “depressed” power supply due to a technical fault at Hwange Power Station.

In a statement on Thursday, the power utility said:
“Zesa Holding would like to advise its valued customers countrywide that there is a limited power supply in the national electricity grid due to technical faults at Hwange at 11:41 AM yesterday.

The depressed power supply situation has also been compounded by the unavailability of normal imports levels due to the loss of interconnection to Eskom of South Africa. The interconnection to South Africa has since been restored and recovery of service to optimum levels at Hwange is currently underway,” read the statement.
