The current electricity load shedding is expected to end soon, depending on the results of testing this weekend, according to Edmond Fiusi, the operating team leader at Lungga Power Station.
Fiusi told Island Sun on Thursday, July 1st, that spare parts for the transformers arrived on Wednesday, July 31st, after a delay. “After we install the parts, we’ll test the system. Whether power returns to normal depends on how well the test goes,” Fiusi said.
Patson Kevu from Night Swift also informed Island Sun last night that load shedding will continue today, Friday. “The end of load shedding depends on the test results. If all goes well, we expect the outages to stop by Saturday or Sunday,” Kevu added.
