The country’s Electricity Generation Company Limited (EGENCO) has insisted that people in the country should not be afraid of load shedding claiming they will not go as bad as last year.
This is according to EGENCO Chief Executive Officer William Liabunya.
Liabunya said this as the country’s minister of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining, Aggrey Masi, visited Kapichira power station in Chikwawa district.
The CEO said although EGENCO is facing challenges in as far as the production of electricity is concerned, things will not get worse.
Liabunya further said Kapichira power station is running only two machines out of the available four due to lowering of the water level in Shire river and said that the two machines are making 64 Megawatts out of the needed 129 Megawatts.
He continued by saying the machines are using 145 cubic meters of water per second out of the needed 180 cubic meters per second and said this is at least better compared to 115 cubic meters per second the same period last year.
“The only challenge that we have at the moment is insufficient water to run all the machines and we have since stopped two machines due to reduced pond levels but we are still working tirelessly to minimize the impact.
“The same period last year our machines were using 115 cubic meters and this year they are using 145 cubic meters per second and they won’t go down to last year’s figures,” said Liabunya.
This is coming barely days after Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi (ESCOM) told the general public the same news through reporters at a press conference in Blantyre.

What do they mean if my phone is left with one bar daily?
Wasting resource and tax payers money
I salute president Kagame’s idea
The blackouts are terrible. Before the kids get ready for school you switch off. How can kids go to school no breakfast. It is not realistic that 4.55 a.m. you switch the damn lights off. Go to hell.
Kumeneku ndiye kutitsutsula mabala. AZIMAAA!! AYAKAAA. Zausilu basi.
Oho?? OK!!
your point is not taken….This year is worse than last year
We r already there these days we spend 12 to 13 hrs without e so called electricity
Zausilu panopa athima kale

Work extra hard
It’s far much worse this year than last year and this is just September. Are these people living in Malawi or another country??
..MAGETSI….AYAKA????….zamkutu….iya musakambenso….
Aint ths worse already…amangwetu inu?
The Malawian government must invest in power generation coz you will be missing on serious investments. In Zambia, we are safe.
We need action so that we will say that ourselves
This is too stupid
okay but EGENCO stand for what?
THEY ARE ALREADY BAS AS LAST YEAR SO WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT??
Ine ndimaona ngati munena kuti load shedding yanuyi yatha zosakhala bwino ndithu
There’s no electricity in Malawi in short. so don’t provoke us with this please.
guyz I don’t understand what is meaning of blackout ?
What was the point of splitting Escom? Coz nothing has changed to date. This part of reform failed to achieve it’s goal.
Izizi Nde Mayankhulidwe Opusa! Mukuona Ngati Tikusiyanitsa Ndi Last Year? Kupusa Kwabasi, Apapa Zikusiyana Chani Ndi Last Year? Mesa Bola Last Year Zachamba Bas
Aren’t they already worse than last year????
Its already worse
What’s the difference with last year, if we can only have power while we are sleeping
😀 😀
Oky?
we are here for electricity not blackouts hence they must fulfill their duty and promise.
mmmmmm
Zachamba
I do not see any difference. The thing is by unbundling ESCOM we thought may be the blackouts will be minimised. But nay!!!! The problem of blackouts will be there since people in Malawi including the president chose to sleep on their job.
