Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development has opened up Shire River at

Kamuzu Barrage in Liwonde, Machinga to increase water flow for Electricity Generation

Company (Egenco) to boost power generation.

The ministry' s Principal Secretary Grey Nyandule Phiri said in an interview yesterday that on

March 17 2018 a technical committee comprising government officials, engineers and

hydrologists recommended increasing the flow of water in Shire River to allow Egenco

generate more power to avert the power shortage that the country has experienced lately.
