The capital of Zambia, Lusaka, is expected to experience about 16 hours of interruptions in power supply from 05:00am to 20:00hours on Sunday.
Zambia’s electricity company, ZESCO Limited, which made the announcement in a statement, said the interruption of power supply is to facilitate the re-configuration of transmission and distribution lines which will result in more stable and consistent power supply in Lusaka.
“These works are part of the US$20 million Lusaka Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project (LTDRP) funded by the World Bank and European Investment Bank,” the statement explained.
