The decision follows unsuccessful negotiations with the Government of Mozambique, Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa, and Eskom, amid ongoing drought conditions affecting electricity supply. The company acknowledges the impact on employees, suppliers, and stakeholders and plans to support them during the transition.
