The Electricity Generation Company (Malawi) Limited (EGENCO) recently embarked on a project to divert a tributary that was depositing a lot of silt at the Tedzani intake pond. With the first heavy down pour at Tedzani and surrounding areas on Monday 19 November 2018, the river training project (diversion of the river) has proved to be a success. The silt, that ordinarily was destined for the Intake pond, was successfully diverted away downstream of the Tedzani Pond.
