Restoration of electricity in Mbuji-Mayi after a week of outage

Electricity was restored in Mbuji-Mayi on May 6, 2026, after a week-long outage caused by the collapse of two pylons. The National Electricity Company (SNEL) successfully restored the high-voltage line connecting the Tubi Tubidi hydroelectric plant to the city. Diversion works were carried out to prevent further erosion, and protective measures for other threatened poles are underway with the company SAFRIMEX.
