Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) recently wrote a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Power Development, asking for permission to start implementing load shedding.

The letter was written by ZETDC acting managing director Ralph Katsande, according to a Business Times report.

In response to ZETDC’s request, Energy and Power Development permanent secretary Gloria Magombo said:

> The ministry is in receipt of your letter dated March 14, 2019, on the (load-shedding) subject matter.

> In the letter, ZETDC was advising the ministry on the necessity to implement a load-shedding program in cognizance of the reduction in water allocation by Zambezi River Authority at Kariba Power Station and also the deteriorating coal supply situation at Hwange Power Station.

> The ministry concurs with ZETDC’s proposal to implement a load-shedding program in compliance with ZRA and also to mitigate the impact of coal supplies situation.

> To this end, ZETDC is being requested to submit the proposed load-shedding schedule to the ministry for its perusal before implementation.

ZETDC has since advised the public that it will soon announce a load shedding schedule in the mainstream media.

The company dismissed “schedules” circulating on social media, saying that they are all “fake”.
