Abia State Governor, Alex Otti says his administration is set to buy over the Umuahia ringed fence of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, in order to provide steady power for the rest of the 8 LGAs not covered by the Geometric Power.
He stated this on Monday at a reception organized by the management of Geometric Power after the commissioning and tour of Aba Power’s new 2 X 15 MVA, Ogbor Hill Sub-station, which was performed by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Governor Otti, who directed the Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities to hold discussions with the management of the Geometric Power over wheeling of its excess power to the Umuahia ringed fence, said all the due diligence and evaluations have been done.
