Ethiopian capital faces three-day-a-week power outages

 Addis Ababa (AFP) May 12, 2008
 The Ethiopian capital faces a lengthy power outage until next month because of reduced water levels in the country's hydro-electric plants, a state-owned generator said Monday.

Addis Ababa, a city of five million, will have no power for up to three days a week, the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation said in a statement.

"Power rationing will continue until June. Climate change, which is inflicting a great damage worldwide, is the main cause of the poor performance of seasonal rains in Ethiopia," state media quoted Water Minister Asfaw Dingamo as saying.
