City Power said electricity consumption has reached critical levels, forcing it to embark on stringent measures to protect the grid from total collapse.
“These measures include intensifying the implementation of ripple relay systems to cut electricity to geysers in homes where the systems are under threat, reducing load at substations with higher consumption and those under threat, and intensifying cut-off operations against illegal connections. Mangena added the decision to initiate load reduction follows extensive efforts to encourage customers to use electricity wisely and efficiently in recent weeks.
