The company has recently opened a new 500mm PVC pipe factory line to meet growing demand from construction. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- In the past three years, Zimbabwe experienced a huge power crisis, the biggest since 2016. Authorities attribute the crisis to ageing equipment at the country’s power generators such as Hwange Thermal Power Station and Kariba Hydro Power Station. At the peak of the crisis, some regions in the country would go for up to 18 hours without power. Last week, the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), a subsidiary of power utility ZESA Holdings, rolled out an increased load shedding countrywide citing “depressed generation on the grid coupled with increased electricity demand as a result of increased economic activities.” Zimbabwe’s power-generating capacity is 1 400 megawatts, but the projected national peak demand is 2 400 megawatts. The southern African country imports some electricity from South Africa and Mozambique, nevertheless, imports are not enough to cover the deficit. Some companies have been resorting to expensive diesel generators to continue operating. Some have installed power systems and are even selling the surplus to the state. *Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
