According to the General Manager (Transmission), Enugu Transmission Region, Mr Geoffrey Nwokoye on Monday, the Federal Government will build two transmission stations in Abakaliki to enhance power delivery in the area.
He said that the 2x 150MVA 330/132KV and 2x 60 MVA 132/33KV power stations would stimulate more economic activities in the state.
"When the stations are completed, it will create employment opportunities to the indigenes of the state and improve the overall well being of the Ebonyi people,’’ he said.
"At present, Ebonyi with some parts of Cross River states, are supplied electric power via a 132KV transmission line from Enugu and this is prone to interruptions.
"A 330KV system at the state capital would definitely guarantee a more stable and quality power at the state capital, even at the worst level of generation,’’ he said.
Nwokoye, therefore, appealed to the governor to allocate the company a suitable portion of land to construct the power stations.
He commended the cooperation and assistance of the state government to the company, adding that the company was poised to serve the state creditably.
