"NV GEBE Progress Update: Power Plant PP 20MW

NV GEBE is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the PP 20MW project. All necessary infrastructure has been successfully put into place, marking a significant milestone in this critical initiative.

While there was an unanticipated delay of 18+ days for the shipment and delivery of essential equipment, including the storage tanks; we are happy to report that they have been delivered today and are already being installed.

Despite these challenges, the project remains on track, and our dedicated team is working tirelessly to complete the installation of the remaining equipment.

This new capacity will play a vital role in providing additional power supply and alleviating load shedding.

Furthermore, ongoing repairs and restoration of major engines at the Power Plant have already significantly reduced the need for load shedding.

NV GEBE remains committed to ensuring reliable electricity service for the community, and we thank you for your continued patience, support and understanding as we work towards a brighter, more stable future.

Hope is on the horizon. Stay tuned for further updates."
Key word is alleviating but not eliminating. 🤔

The word "alleviating" caught my eye too when reading the update. Then I got to the end of your post and I saw it caught your eye too.

Good things are happening!!! Not once did we lose power ,that was the end of oct into nov!! I motored by the plant on my Rhino rider and saw work being done. They definitely are stepping it up!!
