Zambia was this morning hit by national power outage as hydropower units at Kafue, Kariba were reportedly out.
ZESCO says working “flat out” to find problem, Copperbelt Energy trying to import power from DRC to keep mines running.
The power utility has sequentially started restoring power supply after national outage.
Have you experienced this latest power cut in your area?

Strategic institution should have standby Gen- Set
unless those in charge are dull. Even those in buseness they are supposed to have plan B ie but standby Gen-sets. If imbeba in Chipata can have strategic exits(umulompokelo) incase of danger how about us human beings.

Some people are saying that because it’s Friday
the 13 Th that’s why we have this power outage,
if it’s the devil at work let’s just pray to our
mighty God and the weapon of the devil shall not
prosper Amen.

HOW GULLIBLE CAN YOU ALL BE?
THE COUNTRY EXPERIENCES A MASSIVE POWER FAILURE AND ZESCO MANAGEMENT SIMPLY EXPLAINS THAT THE NATIONAL POWER OUTAGE WAS DUE TO ‘A SYSTEM DISTURBANCE (SD)’
WHAT IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IS A SYSTEM DISTURBANCE?

I was not affected because i use solar energy for operations.Its high time i used power from zesco so i expected lesser out cry from zed pipo bearing in mind power this time can be sourced not only from zesco.
