The measures taken by Eneo to reduce power cuts

According to internal sources, to lower the power cuts, Eneo has suspended 20% of work schedule to reduce power cuts.

Load shedding programs will be redesigned based on time and incidences. It was recommended that teams should be in place as much as possible not to cut power to an area that has been disturbed by an incident. To manage more expeditiously incidents, Eneo decided to strengthen its emergency response teams.

As a reminder, in recent weeks the country in its southern part is shaken by a wave of power cuts. The cuts are mainly caused by lower water flow in the Sanaga whereas engendering a production deficit of about 80 to 100 MW despite the activation of all additional power sources like power plants Gaz de Kribi and Bassa Logbaba and central Yassa Dibamba.

"Between April 23 and May 26, 2015, we recorded on the Sanaga, unusual deficit of one billion six hundred million cubic meters of water as compared to the same period last year. Faced with this critical situation, our hydroelectric dams Songloulou and Edea are unable to guarantee a level of power that can meet the current demand for electricity," written by Eneo in a press release May 27, 2015.

As part of a visit to the hydroelectric plant of Edea by the press and consumer associations on Thursday, June 4, 2015, it found out that the low level of water that entered the factories. Downstream from the right side factories and foundations are visible.

"The rates are low because it does not rain enough in the watershed between the Sanaga Adamawa and East on one hand and the Adamawa and the West on the other. The amount of water that enters the plant as fuel is insufficient to run at full speed the turbines," said Ahmadou Bivoung, Director of the Central Edea.
