The Governor of Abia State has said that the state is no longer experiencing power failure caused by frequent collapse of the National Grid system, as his administration is now investing in converting organic waste products into electricity.
He disclosed this while addressing the media at the state’s government house on Thursday.
According to him, waste products are now being converted from biogas into renewable energy for Abians, adding that the state is no longer under the control of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
He also disclosed that the new arrangement had been negotiated and accepted by the utility firm Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) in charge of power in the state.
