Zesa ordered to revise load shedding

The Minister of Energy, Samuel Undenge, has ordered the country's power utility to revise its load-shedding schedule, as the country battles a power supply crisis that has ruined the economy.

The situation has been worsened by low water levels for electricity generation at Kariba due to poor rainfalls in the last seasons.

Undenge confirmed the development, saying the new schedule would be published soon.

ZESA commercial director, Ralph Kastande, said the power utility and government were looking at various options to reduce load shedding.
