*400MW Eskom Deal Done, Load Shedding Back To Stage 1 - ZESA Spokesperson* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?uj The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA), has revealed that the power deal with South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, has finally been consummated. Zimbabwe is currently receiving 400MW from Eskom. In a statement, ZESA spokesperson, Fullard Gwasira said that load shedding has been downgraded to Stage 1, which essentially reduces power cuts from roughly 18 hours to 8 hours a day. He said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

So there is significant relief but does not eliminate load- shedding. Gwasira, however, revealed that the country is generating less power than the installed capacity of its power plants. Kariba Hydro is generating a paltry 277MW down from 1050MW while Hwange experiences intermittent breakdowns as a result of ageing equipment. Added Gwasira: > Our plants are still old and still have a high frequency of break down. Kariba has lost 800MW and Eskom is providing 400MW. There is still a gap of about 400MW which will be managed by load shedding. *More: Techzim* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
