ZESCO has attributed the continued load shedding in the country to the low water levels arising from inadequate rainfall received this year and constrained transmission and distribution capacities
ZESCO Senior Manager Marketing and Public Relations Bessie Banda has told journalists in Lusaka that power generation is above 2, 300 mega watts now while the peak demand is 1, 900 mega watts.
Ms Banda explains that even if ZESCO has adequate power, transmission and distribution capacity is not sufficient.
Ms Banda says currently the power utility company is undertaking certain projects to address challenges in the transmission and distribution capacity.
Ms Banda has since appealed to ZESCO customers to be more energy efficient.
