Residents of Makeni and Magburuka can now breathe a sigh of relief as the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA) announces the completion of extended maintenance at the Bumbuna Hydroelectric Power Dam.
The work on the defected Radial Gate was finished in the early hours of Thursday, May 30, 2024.
“Power has been immediately restored to Makeni and Magburuka,” said an EDSA spokesperson. The Authority is now in the process of synchronizing Bumbuna with Karpower to transmit additional power to Freetown, ensuring broader distribution to customers.
“We appreciate and thank our customers for their continued patience and understanding during this maintenance period,” added the spokesperson. “We assure them of quality services moving forward.”
