Occasional interruptions may still occur
JIRAMA announces that scheduled power cuts are no longer in effect. Following recent rainfall, the Andekaleka hydroelectric plant is currently able to operate at “full capacity,” producing over 120 MW.
This facilitates the restoration of electricity supply on the Antananarivo Interconnected Network (RIA), with a demand estimated at 250 MW during peak hours. In a statement to its customers, the national electricity company expressed its satisfaction: “With the return of the rains, we are pleased to announce that scheduled power cuts have been canceled.” This is a relief for many households and businesses that have frequently suffered the impact of these outages.
However, JIRAMA indicates that occasional interruptions may still occur. These could be associated with local interruptions or technical activations on distribution networks. The company encourages affected subscribers to report any irregularities using its customer service, available through various means. For any information, users can contact the toll-free number 547, send a private message on the Facebook page “JIRAMA Ofisialy,” or via WhatsApp at 038.83.035.47.
This return to a stable state demonstrates the robustness of hydroelectric installations in providing energy at the national level, especially during the rainy seasons. Users now hope that this period of tranquility will last and that production will continue to effectively meet demand.
