PRESS RELEASE: NAWEC COMMISSIONS NEW SWITCHING STATION IN FARAFENNI

Posted on by nawec_admin

PRESS RELEASE

NAWEC COMMISSIONS NEW SWITCHING STATION IN FARAFENNI

Farafenni, 7th April 2025 – The National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC) is pleased to announce the successful commissioning and energization of the newly constructed switching station in Farafenni, North Bank Region. This milestone marks a critical milestone under the GERMP Backbone Access Project Phase 2 financed by EIB,EU and WB.

The new switching station, is a critical upgrade that enables improved power distribution, system flexibility, and reduced losses across the region. Before this development, the network operated on a 33kV line with limited capacity and significant constraints. The new infrastructure allows for efficient power importation and facilitates easier isolation during faults or maintenance, enhancing reliability for residents and businesses from Farafenni to Kerewan and Barra/Amdalai.

This new infrastructure, implemented through NAWEC’ s Project Implementation Unit, significantly enhances power reliability across the North Bank Region, ensuring quality delivery and timely execution.

Commissioning works were completed on 7th April, 2025, and electricity supply has been fully restored to all affected areas. NAWEC will continue to monitor the system to maintain stability and optimal performance.

Stay tuned as similar milestones will soon be realized in Bangally and Basse, further enhancing regional connectivity and access to reliable electricity.
