Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Minister of Energy l, Dr. Eldred Taylor has joined World Bank Team and technical personnel from EDSA to assess the status of the project dedicated to upgrading the Freetown network from 11KV to 33KV under the additional financing of the Energy Sector Utility Reform Project, ESURP.<\/p>\n

This project, which is funded by the World Bank, aims to improve or enhance the efficient evacuation of electricity from substations to different parts of the city. The upgrade of the lines will enable power to be evacuated from the Kingtom 161 substation to Waterloo in the far east on the one hand and to Goderich in the far west on the other hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Energy Sector Utility Reform Project covers six substations. With the substations at Kingtom and Falcon Bridge having already been energized,plans are now underway to energize the Aberdeen and Jui substations,\u201d Dr. Taylor noted.<\/p>\n

He said the government was determined to ensure the speedy completion of the project and was sparing no efforts in making that known to the contractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the upgrade is fully done,the issues of load shedding and low voltage will be addressed,\u201d the Deputy Minister concluded.<\/p>\n

With the energy sector and the Feed Salone agenda being inextricably linked, reforms continue in the sector.<\/p>\n
