Ripoti ya EPRA inaonyesha Watanzania wakabiliwa na blackout saa 8.39 kwa mwezi

Ripoti mpya ya Mamlaka ya Kudhibiti Nishati na Petroli (EPRA) inaonyesha kuwa wateja nchini Kenya wanakabiliwa na blackout za umeme kwa wastani wa saa 8.39 kwa kila mwezi. Hii ni uboreshaji kutoka saa 9.15 za mwaka uliopita lakini bado inazidi malengo ya udhibiti. Ripoti hiyo inaeleza pia wakati wa kurejesha umeme na idadi ya mara nyingi za kusimamishwa.

Ripoti ya Biannual Energy and Petroleum Statistics Report ya EPRA kwa nusu ya kwanza ya mwaka wa fedha 2025/26 inafichua kuwa System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) ni saa 8.39 kwa kila mteja kwa mwezi. “Katika kipindi hicho, muda wa kusimamishwa kwa wateja ulipungua hadi wastani wa saa 8.39 kwa mwezi, chini kutoka saa 9.15 zilizorekodiwa katika kipindi sawa mwaka uliopita,” inasema ripoti hiyo. Hata hivyo, SAIDI bado inazidi lengo la EPRA la saa 1.50 kwa mwezi, na hivyo kuwapa changamoto za mara kwa mara nyumbani na biashara. Wakati wa kurejesha umeme ni wastani wa saa 2.38, chini kutoka 2.56 za mwaka uliopita lakini juu ya lengo la saa 1.36; wakati mrefu zaidi ulirekodiwa Oktoba 2025 kwa saa 2.60. Idadi ya kusimamishwa ni 3.52 kwa mwezi, chini kidogo kutoka 3.57, lakini juu ya lengo la 1.10. “Hii, hata hivyo, ilikuwa bado juu ya kizingiti cha kusimamishwa 1.10 kwa mwezi kilichowekwa na Mamlaka,” inabainisha ripoti. Matokeo haya yanaashiria mapungufu katika uhamishaji umeme na changamoto zinazoathiri shughuli za kila siku.
