Kaduna Electricity Company Plans Uninterrupted Power Supply

The Management of  Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KEDC) said it is developing a plan aimed at ensuring uninterrupted power supply to residents within its jurisdiction.

Addressing a news conference in his office on Tuesday, the Managing Director of the company, Mr Idris Mohammed said three completed injection power stations would soon be commissioned to boost electricity supply in Kaduna, Kebbi and Sokoto states which are under the company’s jurisdiction, adding that plans are underway to distribute free pre-paid metres to all its customers across the zone for effective service delivery.

He further stated that the free pre-paid metre project is being funded by the World Bank as part of its contribution to ensure steady power supply in Nigeria.

Mr Mohammed also told journalists that power supply in the zone has improved up to 22 hours daily, and lamented that one of the greatest challenges militating against uninterrupted power supply is vandalism which he said if addressed, will ensure steady electricity.
