Zimbabwe\u2019s power utility,\u00a0ZESA Holdings<\/a>, has started to implement staggered 24-hour rolling power cuts across the country following reduced power generation at its ageing and poorly-maintained power stations and reduced power imports from neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

In an emailed statement to\u00a0Fin24<\/em>\u00a0on Wednesday, ZESA said load shedding is now being implemented over and above the advertised schedule. The power utility had earlier advised its customers that load shedding was being implemented at Stage 2, which translates to 18 hours without electricity.<\/p>\n
