The President of the Republic (PR), Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, yesterday inaugurated the electricity network at the Nihessiue Administrative Post (PA), in Murrupula District, Nampula Province.

This is a project valued at around 89 million Meticais, financed by the Government of Mozambique (GoM), according to the company's statement, which we have seen.

During the implementation phase, the electrical network created 32 jobs, including 23 at local level and another 9 for the contractor's technical staff.

On the occasion, the President of the Republic stressed that the arrival of energy from the National Electricity Network (REN) in Nihessiue will bring substantial improvements to the quality of life of that population.

"Energy is not just for lighting, but also for production. In such a short time, we will see businesses thriving here and well-being settling into the lives of our fellow citizens of Nihessiue," said the PR.

The Nihessiue project consisted of building 25km of medium-voltage line and 10km of low-voltage network.

In addition, 150 street lamps and five transformer substations (PTs) were installed, totaling 500kVA of power, which ensured the connection of 183 consumers, out of the 1,000 planned in the first phase.

This line covers the administrative post of Nihessiue and the village of Nathepo, as well as the following areas

Nacuca and Nacorare villages, in the Murrupula Administrative Post.
