In a press release made public by Bukavu media on Monday, June 19, 2023, SNEL informed its customers that a temporary power cut (44 to 60 minutes) will be observed in Labotte, Patrice Emery Lumumba, Presse, Kindu, Kobombo, Avenues Post Maniema, Mukukwe Nyawera, and Saio. This stoppage follows the overheating of a 6.6/15 KV-10 mva transformer at Ruzizi 1 Substation.
"Cash Power" is a prepaid electricity system, which was installed at Radio Kahuzi Studio about a year ago. It is appreciated by many customers as it does not require the cutting of power lines, followed by needless hours of pleading for the reattachment of the lines days later.
Although some areas have been restored, the blackout is still affecting several avenues of the municipality of Ibanda.
