The power crises started in the year 2006 and continued 2007. During these years, electricity shortage reached the figure of 2,546 MW during the summer season of 2007.

Children cannot get on the computer and research for their homework. Businesses cannot use credit cards. Schools and colleges have teachers leaving classroom without teaching because it is too hot for them to bear. People here can hardly plant work, outings, meetings or dinner parties at night.


Their social activities have been restricted because of irregular power supply. At home household chores, schoolwork , primetime TV viewing, food preparation, all have to be put on hold when the electricity goes out several times during the day.

Nonetheless, it seems that whether the situation continues for the rest of the winter or is rectified sooner, people will not need to acclimatize anew to load shedding in the summer. This is the only upside of this gloomy situation.
