James:

I was in Malawi at the time of power outages in 2003.

I recommended that this time around, they should try distribution of
electric induction stoves to manage peak loads. What do you think -- for
low- and middle-income areas of Blantyre, in particular?

Economics look good, compared to charcoal, unless Escom has hiked up the
tariff or introduced ToU tariffs.
