Several questions relating to untimely power cuts in Conakry were put to the Director General of Electricity of Guinea (EDG) on Monday during the press conference he hosted in the premises of his management.
According to him, these cuts are due to work requested by partner companies from EDG on the network, but also local breakdowns such as those of transformers.
“Companies working on electrification projects are requesting cuts to speed up work before the winter season. And in our turn, we have to grant them these cuts to allow them to connect the old network. Because these are the interconnected networks. This is what allows us to relieve the various networks a little today”, he explains, before continuing:
“But the biggest problem we currently have is with the Wanindara-Cobayah departure. This starting line today is very busy, it is almost 13 to 16 megawatts. While the cables that are installed must not go more than 12 megawatts maximum. If we look at the statistics we have at our level, we will say that we don’t have enough cuts. Because we are around 90% to 95% food…”
Other reasons for these electrical load shedding mentioned by the boss of EDG is the breakdowns at the level of the transformers.
“There are areas where a transformer breaks down and the time for the agents to have the information and they come to remove this transformer, people will say that we have been doing days without having power. And that’s just local outages. In normal times, outages for breakdowns are very small, they are not even 5%. But the cuts due to the works are around 15%. So, which means that we have a feed rate of around 90, 95% on certain departures, ”he mentioned.

…and instead it is using Ukraine as a proxy force in an attempt to inflict strategic defeat on Moscow, said Russian Ambassador to Berlin Sergey Nechaev.
In an interview with Izvestia newspaper published on April 10, Mr. Nechaev did not rule out the possibility that Germany would supply fighters to Ukrainedespite the fact that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has repeatedly stated that the country has no such plan.

“Fire range of German weapons supplied to Ukraine continuously expanding. From shipments of helmets, Berlin has progressed to provide the Kiev authorities with modern lethal weapons systems, including heavy battle tanks, howitzers, various missile systems and systems. air defense system,” Nechaev said.
According to him: “The German government has long crossed all possible red lines in an attempt to inflict strategic defeat on Russia. So we do not have any special illusions.”
However, Mr. Nechaev said Berlin would not go so far as to send troops to fight Russia in the conflict in Ukraine. According to the Russian diplomat, the move would mean “the direct participation of Germany in the conflict with Russia, which at least at the present stage Berlin is still trying to avoid by all means possible. Therefore, it is unlikely that German voters will support such plans because it would be easier to fight with other parties’ forces.”
Germany is one of the EU countries that support Ukraine the most in its conflict with Russia. The country’s military provided $2.2 billion in military assistance to Kiev last year and is expected to provide an additional $2.4 billion in military assistance in 2023.
This year, Berlin committed to supply 18 Leopard 2 main battle tanks and 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine, among other vehicles. Ukrainian Army are also training for the use of combat vehicles in Germany with the first group having completed training in mid-March.
Russia has repeatedly criticized the shipments of the US, UK, Germany and EU countries to Ukraine, saying that it only prolongs the conflict and does not change the outcome of the Russian military campaign. Moscow also argues that the support provided to Kiev in many areas has made Western countries de facto parties to the conflict.
