Provision of electricity via the Tumatumari hydro plant is being touted as the more feasible solution to Mahdia and neighbouring communities’ power woes, says Mark Crawford, Region Eight Chairman.Crawford believes that the provision of a subvention by Government to help finance electricity generation at the Mahdia Power and Light Company is only a short term solution.He said that the Tumatumari hydro facility has the capacity to produce 1.5 Megawatts of electricity. That can supply Tumatumari, Micobie, Konawaruk Junction, the Housing Scheme, Mahdia and Campbelltown with power. Residents living along the road from Konawaruk Junction to Mahdia could also benefit.At the moment power supplied to Mahdia by the Mahdia Power and Light Company is being rationed because its small generator is not working. Even when the generator becomes operational it is unlikely that the company would be able to provide 24 hours of power, daily.According to Crawford, he was briefed of the power situation by the Manager of the power company, Courtney Handy. Moreover, the company is managed by a board that is effective, he added.However, the supply of electricity for less than 24 hours to residents is totally unacceptable. He said that the business sector is seriously affected by the rationing of electricity.“I received many complaints from a lot of business persons that their businesses are encountering lots of problems because of the load shedding and to add insult to injuries, while they are receiving less electricity their light bills remain the same.”“The water supply is also affected since many persons have wells dug to supply them with water through the Salbura Water System. This system is incapable of supplying the entire area with potable water at this juncture. These wells use electric pumps to pump the water,” he said.According to Crawford, some places affected are the school that has a well, hotels that use air conditioning units and fans and workshops that used electric tools.Crawford related that with hydro power many of the inconveniences experienced would be drastically reduced. Some expected benefits are reduced electricity cost, reduced green house gases (emission), saved foreign exchange on 180 barrels of fuel monthly that is needed for the large generator at the power company,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, and a more reliable form to supply of electricity,“I believe that no effort should be spared by the Government to assist the developers of the Tumatumari Hydro since it will benefit the interior tremendously.“I believe that the time has come for the Government to practise what it preaches, and if it so cares for the people in the interior as it ought to, it should spare no effort in assisting the developers,” he added.
