The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo) has again announced a power rationing program and ordered industries to cut their production. Miheret Debebe, CEO of EEPCo, explained that latest power rationing, unlike the previous, is not as a result of power shortage but due to the restricted load capacity of transmission lines and delayed expansion work of new transmission lines.
According to him the power demand has had a steady growth of 24 percent a year, and although the corporation has the capacity to supply ample electric power for the country, “the current transmission line’s electric load capacity" has contributed to the problem of "power interruption, mainly during peak hours”.
