Electricity company Mozambique (EDM) recorded losses of around 50 million meticais (around 735,000 euros) due to the bad weather that has affected the country, the company announced.
Around 30,000 customers were left without electricity, following the floods that have affected southern and central Mozambique since the beginning of February.
In Boane district and Maputo city alone, the most affected areas in southern Mozambique, there are around 4,200 families who are still without electricity due to grid failures and cuts.
Floods and severe tropical storm Fredy knocked down 80 medium voltage poles along eight kilometers of electricity transmission line.
According to EDM, the supply of electricity has already been restored in the provinces of Sofala and Inhambane, with the situation still to be normalized in neighborhoods in the city of Maputo and in some parts of the district of Boane.
In Mozambique, the occurrence of floods is recurrent at this time of year, but the rainfall was above expectations.
