321

In its efforts to boost the power supply to its customers in the Kaduna metropolis, Kaduna Electric has constructed and commissioned two new substations.

Head of Corporate Communication, Abdulazeez Abdullahi, said the new substations; 33KV Mothercat Feeder and 11KV Commercial Feeder which were commissioned earlier this month in response to calls from customers and in keeping with its mandate to provide improved services to customers and stakeholders.

With its coming into the circuit on May 15, 2023, the 33KV Mothercat Feeder with its associated 11KV Mando and 11KV Water Resources feeders is to provide improved hours and better quality supply to customers in Mando and environs in Kaduna.

Customers in these communities had suffered acute power supply constraints due to the overloading of the 33KV Kinkinau Injection Substation. With the deloading of 33KV Kinkinau however, supply is expected to improve significantly.

Similarly, the new 11KV Commercial feeder which was commissioned on May 6, 2023, is to serve commercial customers that have been moved from the existing 11KV Constitution Road feeder. Customers on the feeder have been appropriately metered to ensure effective energy accountability.

The 11KV Constitution Road feeder and 11KV Commercial Feeder both feed from 33KV Independence Injection Substation.

Customers on both Mothercat and Commercial Feeders are on Band A and expected to enjoy an average of 20 hours of supply.

The statement further said Kaduna Electric shall not relent in its efforts to meet the expectations of its customers for improved power supply. It called on customers to reciprocate by paying their bills promptly and avoid indulging in energy theft and other vices that impede optimal service delivery.
