Residents of the township of Mabaruma, in Region One, are expected to receive a 24-hour electricity supply from today with the installation of a new generator at the Mabaruma Power Station.
During an inspection of the equipment yesterday, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill voiced his approval of the swift manner in which staff at the power station installed the generator. “I am extremely satisfied that the engine arrived on Thursday, and today Saturday it is already installed and functional. So, that is immediate relief for the people of Mabaruma,” Edghill was quoted as saying by the Department of Public Information report yesterday.
The report noted that he was accompanied by Chairman of the Region One Regional Democratic Council Brentnol Ashley, who provided the background to the electricity woes being endured by the township.
“With this engine up and running… we will be able to put the electricity to 24 hours for our residents,” he said.
Region One’s Vice-Chairman, the Regional Executive Officer and the Mayor were also part of the inspection of Mabaruma’s new generator.
