Zambia Halts Electricity Exports 

The Zambian government announced that it has halted electricity exports to some neighboring countries due to reduced power generation capacity the southern African country was facing. <br />Minister of Energy Peter Kapala, however, said the government will not completely do away with exports in order to maintain existing power markets. <br />The minister says that the government was alive to the disruptions caused by the ongoing load shedding but was cautious to ensure that there was no complete shutdown. <br />President Hakainde Hichilema says discussions were ongoing to find short-term solutions to the ongoing electricity crisis in order to avoid reversing the gains made so far in reviving the economy.
