Activities are slowing down. Prolonged power cuts continue to disrupt economic activities and daily life for households. In some neighborhoods, outages can last several hours or even most of the day. In workshops, shops and businesses dependent on electricity, activity slows or stops when equipment can no longer function. Employees sometimes have to wait for power to be restored before resuming work. For small businesses operating mainly on daily revenue, these interruptions can lead to loss of income or delays in order fulfillment. "An entire business depends on electricity. We really hope that the trip to Europe will bring concrete solutions for the population," says one entrepreneur. Households must also adapt their activities to the outages. Some tasks are postponed and the organization of the day can be changed. Students may also face difficulties studying in the evening or accessing online resources when interruptions are prolonged. Concern For people whose income depends directly on daily activity, the duration of outages can have immediate economic consequences. The question of regular electricity supply remains a concern for many users. In this context, the President's trip to Europe raises expectations around projects aimed at strengthening electricity production. Among them is the Volobe hydroelectric project, presented as one of the future contributions to the national grid. Beyond announcements and ongoing projects, the evolution of the situation will be mainly assessed through the reduction in the frequency and duration of outages, as well as improved electricity availability for households and economic activities.
