Power shortages in Ethiopia
Addis Ababa - The Ethiopian news agency says 11 towns in south-west Ethiopia are to face power supply shortages during the coming three months.

Quoting sources, the news agency said due to a decrease in the volume of water in the south-western River Sor, major towns like Dembi Dolo, Gambella, Gore and Mettu, all situated south-west of the capital, will be affected.

The supply of power on a shift basis to the four major towns and seven other smaller ones will continue as long as there is a decrease in the volume of the river's water, due to a dry spell.

The Sor power station in the outskirts of Dembi Dolo, which previously generated five megawatts, is now generating only 1.5 megawatts.
