The Area Manager said the cost of the project is 6 million US Dollars and is all covered by donation from the Government of Egypt, which is also financing similar projects in Rumbek, Yambio and Bor towns.
According to Ernesto Bol, after few weeks of further installations of transformers and commissioning process, thousands of Wau households and institutions will get electricity for the fist time since December 2006 when the two old engines came to a halt because of lack of spare parts.
