A considerable reduction in the availability of electricity is expected this winter. If the electricity available is less than the demand for electricity, this results in what is known as a power shortfall. This could lead to short power cuts at the University. There is now a Vice-Chancellor’s decision that clarifies duties and responsibilities within the University in the event of a power shortfa
