JEDCO resumes power supply in Juba
The Juba Electricity Distribution Company (JEDCO) has resumed operations after nearly a week of a power blackout in Juba. Last week, the company shed off power in all the lines across the city after days of stalemate with the South Sudanese stakeholders over lack of financial commitments.
Businesses and service providers entirely relying on electricity were either interrupted or operations halted much to the chagrin of residents.
The company accused South Sudan’s government of lack of commitment to the 2017 contractual agreement which tasks the country’s Central Bank to pay operational costs worth 3million dollars monthly. But the government says it lacks enough money to fund the operations of the company.
