Power Outages Affecting Cameroon's Economy

       

The power outage or load shedding issue is just something else. It seems to be worse in some parts of the country than others. Before I left Yaounde, close to 2 weeks ago, it was bad, I tell you. We would be without electricity for a whole day , every other day.

Now, according to this report by VOA, our economy is taking a hit.

Huge consignments of goods — some destined for landlocked countries like Central African Republic, Chad and Sudan — have been stockpiled at the Douala seaport for more than six weeks.
Cameroon lawmakers are asking for investigations even though the main energy supplier said poor rainfall is to blame.
Cameroonian lawmaker Walang Richard said his country is hurting – and that he is pressing for a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the unreliable power supply.
“If you look at the country today, everybody is crying. We have a giant water project that we are putting on. But immediately the light goes off, there is no water. These are things that are really creating problems,” Richard said.
“Take for instance, children who are struggling to write exams and they are reading. Suddenly the light goes off. How do you get a candle by 1, 2, 3 o’clock a.m.?” he asked.
30 percent on the grid.
