Electricity Distributor Ede-Este reports that for the past 72 hours its ability to supply electricity to its customers has been seriously hampered by a major deficit in electricity supply from the generators. Ede-Este said that as a result it was forced to increase the hours of blackouts.
The electricity distributor said that the deficit was due to several generators shutting down operations.
Although Monday was not as bad as the weekend, the company said that they still had a 149-megawatt deficit and that they could only meet 69% of demand.
The generators that have shut down or are producing less than their best output include: Haina I (50mw), Haina Gas (100 mw), Monte Rio (72 mw), Macorix II (100 mw), Los Mina V and VI (210 mw), and the Sultana del Este which is rated at 152 megawatts but is only producing 87 megawatts.
The blackouts coincide with a major power rate increase levied onto paying consumers.
