Load Shedding Intensifies
October 15th, 2008
Electric load shedding has intensified in the country with electricity being shut off every alternate hours. This is causing a lot of angst and frustration in both the residential customers and the business customers.
The recent economic problems are said to be contributing to the worsening of the situation.
Due to the disruptive nature of this load shedding, many businesses have found it difficult to survive. There is no way that a business can be competitive in this diffuclt environment. On the other hand electricity rates have been going up steadily and a huge public backlash is expected.
