Epileptic power supply:


 Eneo plunges Y’de in darkness

Several quarters and households in Yaounde have remained in darkness for days due to intermittent rupture of electricity supply. According to authorities of the electricity supplier – Eneo, this is as a result of the breakdown of a major transformer situated at the Eyom-Abang neighbourhood here. 
“One of two big transformers regulating supply of electricity to major parts of the capital city has developed a serious fault and has gone out of use,” said an Eneo agent, who explained further that the faulty transformer has to be replaced with another from Douala.

    The Eneo agent said a team has since ben deployed to Douala to bring over the new transformer to Yaounde. He said given the enormous size of the transformer and especially its very delicate nature, care needs be taken in transporting it over to Yaounde.
    Authorities of Eneo are calling on residents of the capital city to exercise patience, saying all would return to normal as soon as the new transformer is brought in and installed.
    The officials say all would be done to ensure that electricity supply returns to normal latest 21 September 2015. It is hoped that this deadline would be respected given that it requires at least three weeks for a transformer of that magnitude to be installed.
