Kaduna – Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company on Thursday said it had constructed a new feeder tin Kaduna to improve electricity supply in the State.
Mr Bello Musa, the company’s Chief Engineering and Technical Services Officer, disclosed this while receiving a delegation of two communities in Kaduna.
Musa said the company had also carried out network reinforcement projects in Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara to improve electricity supply in the states.
He said the intermittent power supply being experienced in Rigasa and Hayin Malam Bello areas, Kaduna, would be addressed soon.
“The Rigasa 11KV feeder, one of the four 11KV feeders that emanates from the Company’s 2x15MVA injection sub-station in Rigasa, is grossly over-loaded, thereby making the breaker to trip off whenever the feeder is on supply.
“This is why electricity supply in Rigasa and Hayin Malam Bello has been unstable.
“The company is constructing 33 spans of 11KV (high tension) lines to de-load Rigasa 11KV feeder.
“This will enable the company to effectively manage the feeder and ensure steadier electricity distribution in the area,’’ Musa said.
He appealed to electricity users in the area to be paying their bills as at when due to enable the company sustain the momentum.
