EDM-SA Published Load-Shedding Schedule for Bamako

After months of unannounced blackouts, EDM-SA - Mali's national electricity utility - began publishing its rotating load-shedding programme for Bamako in March 2024 and put it on edmsa.ml: a resident types a quartier and a date and gets the feeding line plus the hours power is expected to be available, switching over, or off. Studio Tamani reported the plan allotted around 12 hours of supply per Bamako zone; the government's 'Plan unique' of February 2025 then promised 19 hours a day nationally. Neither is kept evenly - in July 2025 Bamada.net found ACI 2000, Hamdallaye ACI and parts of Kalaban Coura on 14 to 17 hours a day while Yirimadio, Banankabougou and Missabougou averaged 4 to 8, and residents quoted since the launch say the published windows are not respected in their street. The lookup was still being served on 7 August 2026 with a populated quartier index, though a test query that day returned no schedule rows for the quartier checked and the host became unreachable shortly after, so the current day's contents could not be confirmed. Publishing an outage adds no megawatts; it only lets a household plan around one - and lets one neighbourhood compare its hours with the next.
