ZESA says entire country went dark at 10.26AM today after "an abrupt system disturbance on the Alaska-Warren high voltage transmission powerlines linking Kariba and Harare."
While this now resolved, ZESA warns of further outages in days ahead due to "depressed generation"
"Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company (ZETDC) would like to apologize to its valued customers for an unplanned nationwide power outage that happened at 1026HRS. 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."
