Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State says his administration will generate and distribute electricity in the state by the end of 2026.
Mbah unveiled the plans of his government to tackle the challenges of epileptic power supply to businesses and residents of the state on Saturday at a town hall meeting with various stakeholders.
He said, “Electricity is a major infrastructural requirement for industrial development. We are going to set up the Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission as we tackle all legal and regulatory issues in actualising the objective.
“Working with the private sector we shall generate and distribute electricity in Enugu by the end of 2026. We will build new transmission lines and handle the distribution of power.
“People can come here to buy and distribute power, our desire is to ensure we have a steady power supply to businesses and households in Enugu.”
Mbah also spoke on the ongoing legacy project aimed at repositioning the educational sector.
