Power outages: Consumers brace for severe disruptions
As temperatures begin to rise with the onset of summer, load shedding is increasing in parallel. Even a slight shortfall in power supply is already causing significant distress, suggesting a looming crisis. Though the heat has yet to peak, load shedding has started across the country, with rural electricity consumers bearing the brunt. In many rural areas, power cuts are occurring precisely when demand is at its highest. This is severely affecting daily life—not only for ordinary people but also for hospitals, educational institutions, industries, and even agriculture. With this situation emerging so early in the season, many fear the crisis will worsen as the summer intensifies.
