Electricity Generation Company (EGENCO) says it will take the company 10 days to repair the burst pipe at Nkula B Power Station.
The company said this on Tuesday when Minister of Energy Newton Kambala visited Nkula B Power Station to appreciate the extent of the damage on the burst bypass pipe.
âPreliminary assessments indicate that it will take 10 days to resolve the fault,â the company said.
The burst pipe on one of the five hydropower plants at the power station has led to the shutting-down of the power station.
Kambala during the visit commended the control engineers that were on duty at the time of the incident for not only noticing the fault but also taking quick action to prevent flooding of the power station.
