HARARE – Zimbabwe on Tuesday experienced an unplanned nationwide power outage affecting business and industry.
Zimbabwe’s state-owned electricity distributor said the nationwide power cut across the country was due a shortage of supply.
“Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company (ZETDC) would like to apologize to its valued customers for an unplanned nationwide power outage that happened at 41026HRS,” ZETDC said in a statement.
“This was due to an abrupt system disturbance on the Alaska-Warren high voltage transmission powerlines (Linking Kariba and Harare). This has since been resolved by our Engineers.”
“Further to our communication on the 24th of September 2022, customers are encouraged to use electricity sparingly as the national grid is still experiencing depressed generation.”
