津巴布韦最大的燃煤发电厂(Hwange Unit 8)因技术故障而关闭10天, Zimbabwe’s Hwange Unit 8, the country’s largest coal-fired power plant, has been shut down for 10 days due to a technical fault, worsening ongoing power shortages. 此次停电是在 3 号机组的长期维护之后发生的，该维护从 9 月开始，将持续到 11 月。 The outage follows the prolonged maintenance of Unit 3, which began in September and will continue until November. Zesa控股公司将第6股恢复到电网,增加了150兆瓦,同时使第7股保持运作,并在Kariba南部增加产出以抵消损失。 Zesa Holdings restored Unit 6 to the grid, adding 150 megawatts, while keeping Unit 7 operational and increasing output at Kariba South to offset losses. 尽管作出了这些努力,民族代代仍远低于高峰需求,导致负担延长,特别是在城市地区。 Despite these efforts, national generation remains well below peak demand, leading to extended load-shedding, especially in urban areas. 公用事业公司为中断事件道歉,并重申其恢复稳定电力的承诺。 The utility apologized for the disruptions and reiterated its commitment to restoring stable power.
