Zimbabwe is facing an acute shortage of power. The local power utility attributes this shortage to shrinking power production at Kariba as a result of dwindling water levels at the dam.
Power imports have declined as a result of Zimbabwe’s failure to service its debts with suppliers. ZESA reported that it will engage Eskom, South Africa’s power utility, to discuss a proposed payment plan to guarantee more imports.
