Zimbabwe has been ordered to suspend power generation from its main source of electricity, the Kariba hydroelectric dam.
The Zambezi River Authority says water storage levels were too low for power generation.
It added that Zimbabwe had already used up its annual allocation of water for electricity, and It was eating into neighboring Zambia’s share.
Zimbabwe will only be able to resume generating power from Kariba in January.
Zimbabwe has faced rolling power cuts due to drought, and breakdowns at its aging power plants.
