ENEO announces power cuts

Energy of Cameroon (ENEO) published Nov. 26, 2015 a statement on its website. The company that supports the production and distribution of electrical energy in Cameroon announced maintenance

work on its network from 28 November 2015.

The statement said in terms of the central and southern regions that "As part of securing the electricity

supply, Eneo Cameroon, informs customers of Regions of Yaounde, Central and South that it will

proceed this Sunday, November 29, 2015 from 06H to 17H with major maintenance work on the lines

Oyomabang / Ngousso and Mangombe / Oyomabang ".

The conclusion after a glance at the list of the neighbourhoods is that almost all the city, agency

headquarters will be in the dark on Sunday. Yet ENEO indicates that "for this work and for safety

reasons, some localities and districts of the city of Yaoundé, parts of Central and South will remain

unfed." This information may be true for the South Region since the shedding will affect only certain

metropolises like Ebolowa, Sangmélima, Akonolinga or Lolodorf etc. (???).

Littoral region seems to pay the heavy price. Load shedding will touch upon this Douala, the economic

capital on November 28. The cuts will extend until 4 December in cities of the region such as

Nkongsamba. The East, West, North-West, South West and Adamawa will also undergo the said

shedding. As usual, ENEO "strongly recommends to its valued customers to unplug all sensitive

equipment throughout the duration of the work and do not reconnect for 15 minutes following the

effective return of electricity."
