The station’s director general, Ernesto Bol Acho told Radio Tamazuj Friday that Trinity, a local company, has already started fencing the power facility after it signed a contract with the state government.

Acho said the company will provide electricity, maintain generators and review electricity networks within the city.

"The contract has been signed and the company will manage Wau power station with electricity meter systems,” the officiall explained.

Acho said loans from the finance ministry will finance the work. He said some parts of the generators were stolen due to lack of a fence, adding that the generators stopped working eight years ago.
