HARARA - Zimbabwe has started rolling power cuts lasting up to eight hours that will also hit mines, a schedule from the state power utility showed on Monday, after reduced output at both the largest hydro plant and aging coal-fired generators.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company said power cuts, known locally as load shedding, would start on Monday and will last up to eight hours during morning and evening peak periods. Isaac Kwesu, chief executive of Chamber of Mines, which groups Zimbabwe’s biggest mining companies, did not answer his mobile phone when contacted for comment.
News of load shedding is really bad news, it doesn't matter where it's happening but it is a vicious blow to economy.
