The Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) has announced a temporary reduction in power generation due to a technical issue with the fuel pump on the Karpowership.

In a public notice issued on January 13th, EDSA stated that the ship will temporarily reduce its power output to 30MW while essential maintenance work is carried out. This reduction will inevitably impact the overall power availability for distribution within Freetown.

The Authority emphasized that this decision was taken to prioritize the safety and integrity of the generators and ensure the safety of personnel conducting the maintenance and repair work.

EDSA assured the public that they will strive to distribute the available power equitably among their customers during this period.
