{{Yves Muyange the director general of Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) has noted that frequent power rationing in the city is due to the ongoing repairs of some equipment in various power plants.}}<\/p>\n
He noted that repair works at the Gikondo power plant and Jabana are scheduled for completion soon, \u201cmost of the machines were old causing periodical technical faults, hence we\u2019re fixing new spare parts,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
However, Muyange disclosed that power shortages wouldn\u2019t end over night since even after the repair process is over; water levels at Rusizi power plant have reduced a fact that has led to the reduction of electricity production from 12 to 8 mega watts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very common during dry seasons but no need to panic since we\u2019re trying to come up with alternatives. That\u2019s why we\u2019re fixing our mega generators,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
