- Mekin hydroelectric power station restarts partially.
- The plant is injecting 11.2MW into Cameroon’s national electricity network.
The government of Cameroon has begun work on restoring electricity to the southern region of the country. It has charged the energy authorities to power up the Mekin hydroelectric power station. The station will supply 11.2MW of energy to the Southern Interconnected electricity network.
Following the repairs, Hydro Mekin, the company that operates the hydropower scheme, says production testing is continuing for the final unit of the hydropower plant to be energised in the fourth quarter of 2022. The electricity currently produced should benefit the populations of the councils of Sangmelima and Meyomessala in the southern region, as well as those of Mbalmayo in the central region
