The choice of electricity through Solar Thermal Energy which is relatively cheap compared to conventional electricity supply is an added advantage which the population saluted.

A kilo Watt of the Solar Thermal energy for example is valued at 100 CFA francs compared to the 350 francs per kilo watt for conventional electricity.

The Nsem Sub-divisional office and other administrative units are already connected to the system while the process of transportation and distribution to all 166 localities has begun.

During the official launch, the Minister of Water Resources and Energy was accompanied by the Minister of Sport and Physical Education Bidoung Mkwatt, an elite of the Upper Sanaga Division.

The two cabinet members offered electrical appliances to the Nsem Health District Hospital and other administrative units to facilitate energy consumption.
