The Enugu State Government has commenced the construction of three new 33KV feeders to provide improved, affordable, and stable electricity supply to communities in four local government areas of the state.
The project, which is being developed from the Ugwuaji Transmission Station, will serve communities in Nkanu East, Nkanu West, Aninri, and Awgu council areas.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the inauguration of the project was preceded by a stakeholders’ meeting on electricity held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, on Saturday.
Speaking at the event, Christopher Ezeoha, managing director and CEO of the Enugu State Electrification Agency (ESEA) said the project aimed at addressing the longstanding electricity challenges in the affected communities.
Mr Ezeoha said Nkanu East and Nkanu West have been grossly underserved because a single feeder currently supplies a very large area.
