ESCOM Public Relations Officer Kitty Chingota has confirmed of the development in a statement made available to faceofmalawi.

According to Chingota, the reduction in power supply is due to emergency maintenance work, which will be conducted by their supplier Electricity Generating Company (EGENCO).

Chingota said the available 115 Megawatts will be supplied to essential loads which include central referral hospitals and water boards in all the regions.
