Construction of the 330kv Kabwe step-down- Pensulo Transmission Line has reached an advanced stage.

ZESCO Director Transmission, Operations, and Trade, Justin Loongo, says the step-down transmission line will be completed in December this year.

Mr. Loongo says the power installation will enhance the security of supply to Northern, Muchinga, Luapula, Eastern, Northern, and Central Provinces.

He adds that the Power Utility will carry out annual maintenance works on 16th and 17th September 2023 between 06 to 16 hours in the aforementioned provinces.

He has further warned the public to treat all supply lines as live.
