The Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) has today informed the general public that Karpowership which is one of its sources of generating power for subsequent supply and distribution to customers is currently experiencing some technical challenges which has led to a drop in its normal generation output for the time being.

According to EDSA, the Authority’s engineers and technicians are currently working with Karpowership’s technical experts to identify the root cause of the challenges and proffer solutions as quick as possible.

“EDSA would want the public to know that as a result of the drop in the generation capacity of Karpowership, customers would start experiencing intermittent supply of electricity in the Western Area while work is ongoing to stabilize Karpowership’s operation and return to normal generation trend,” they stated.

EDSA added that, “The Authority further apologizes for the inconveniences this situation may cause to our valued customers being that they have been used to uninterrupted electricity supply.”

However, the Authority would ensure continuous engagement with Karpower in a bid to solving the technical challenges and returning to normal supply soonest.
