The power outages in Zimbabwe, which at their worst extended to 19 hours a day and hampered commerce and economy, have been proclaimed to be over by the country's cabinet on Tuesday.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority, the government-owned organization responsible for the rotating supply cutbacks, will end blackouts as a result of "interventions implemented," the country's Information Ministry stated on social media.
According to reports, the power facility has recently finished the restoration of two units at its thermal-fired plant in the southern African county's Hwange. The national grid now has an extra 600 megawatts.
According to Zimbabwe Power Company, around 1,318 megawatts of power were produced on Tuesday, while the estimated national power demand is 2,200 megawatts.
The country has had a serious power shortage in recent years, which it attributes to an increase in economic activity, notably in the mining industry, where expansion generates a strong demand for electricity.
The delivery of energy was further hampered by outdated machinery at Hwange and repeated droughts that led to low water levels at the major Kariba hydropower plant's reservoir.
