The Governor of the capital, Aden, Mr. Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, chaired, on Sunday, in his office in the governorate’s general office, a meeting led by the General Electricity Corporation in Aden.
He urged Lamlas to improve the performance of the electricity service, and to make more efforts to advance this important sector.
He stressed the importance of collecting local revenues for the consumption of electricity and educating citizens about the necessity of rationalizing the use of the current, combating double and random connection, and assigning a security team to accompany the campaign to combat and remove slums and double connectivity, which would serve the public interest and ensure the continuity and permanence of the service.
Lamlas assured the support of the local authority leadership within the limits of the available capabilities, to overcome any difficulties facing the electricity sector and to lift it out of the miserable situation in which it is living.
The meeting touched on a number of problems and difficulties facing the Aden Electricity Administration, the most prominent obstacles that limit the continuity of the operation of the current and increase the hours of extinguishing, and the negative repercussions of this on the daily life of the citizen.
The meeting also discussed the issue of the imminent expiry of the purchased energy contracts and the necessity of taking the notes of the Aden Foundation before renewing contracts with leased companies.
For his part, the Director General of Aden Electricity, Mr. Salem Al-Walidy, valued the support of the local authority leadership in the capital, represented by Mr. Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, and held him responsible for following up on providing the requirements for the continuation of the electricity service, including fuel, and providing the capabilities for maintenance work, oils and spare parts for Aden power stations.
The meeting came out with a number of decisions, the most prominent of which is implementing a campaign to treat waste by removing random and double connections, and following up on the payment of consumption by cutting off the power to the defaulters of government institutions and large consumers, and coordinating with the local authorities on this.
The meeting also came out, stressing the need to take measures against those who restore the power after it was cut off by the institution in illegal ways, and assigning the directors of regions and stations to prepare technical visions for the maintenance and development of generation stations, and to submit proposals for possible solutions and treatments to the difficulties of the current situation.
