The assembly of a 10 MVA mini electrical substation in that location is underway in the commune of Gangula (Sumbe), which will benefit more than two thousand customers
He highlighted the fact that an electrical substation is under construction in the town of Ganja, municipality of Conda, with a capacity of 30 KV and 20 MVA, to be distributed in the municipalities of Conda and Seles, more than eight thousand inhabitants of the two municipalities.
The person responsible recognized that there is still a lot to be done in his sector, so that the 12 municipalities of Cuanza Sul can be interconnected in the national electricity grid.
This, he pointed out, involves making investments, but work is certainly being done to ensure that everyone obtains electricity.
