The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy came out of its silence to ensure in a statement that "there can be no return of load shedding", as claimed by the Autonomous Union of Electricity Workers.
On 18 July 2018, the Autonomous Union of Electricity Workers (Satel) drew the attention of the public authorities to a possible return of load shedding due to a lack of fuel, a consequence of the State's debt towards Senelec, the national electricity company.

In addition, there is a" mechanism for monitoring the regular supply of Senelec power stations, which today covers the needs until the end of December 2018. "
The press release recalls that in the past, Senelec experienced "operational difficulties that led to the use of 911 hours of power cuts and downtimes."
"These were due to insufficient production capacity + less than 300 MW a demand of 400 MW +, an obsolete electrical infrastructure and regular losses every year, despite the payment of compensation of 105 billion by the State ", explains the statement.
It reports that since 2012, the strategies adopted have "helped restore the electrical infrastructure", before concluding: "Thus, the installed capacity is increased to 1,003 MW, the quality of service is significantly improved with a loss of load shedding and a substantial reduction technical cut-off time (14 minutes at the end of June 2018), the maintenance of a minimum stock of fuels (4-7 days) and the improvement of the result of the exercise by Senelec
