The Société algérienne de distribution de l’électricité et du gaz, direction de Bouira, has announced several measures to ensure a comfortable summer for its subscribers in terms of energy supply. According to a press release, the company has implemented important projects, particularly under the "Propre" and "Plan de passage" programs, to improve its services. These projects aim to address citizens' concerns and expectations.
Since 2013, the "Plan de passage" program has enabled the realization and commissioning of 301 transformer substations and 232 km of medium and low-voltage networks, requiring an investment of 8,596 million Algerian dinars. In 2019, the company allocated 90 million dinars to consolidate its distribution network with seven new transformer substations and 22.5 km of medium and low-voltage networks. These projects have been implemented in several localities, including Draa-Lahmar and Djaafra.
The SDC de Bouira has informed that seven projects were programmed for 2019, affecting the localities of Draa-Lahmar and Djaafra in the commune of Sour El Ghozlane, as well as Ouled-Chalabi in the commune of Lakhdaria. Transformer substations have been installed and put into service. However, four remaining substations have not yet been received, with three under construction and one facing opposition from a landowner.
The SDC de Bouira highlights that opposition to its projects remains a significant obstacle to the development and quality of its services. The company emphasizes that its teams are mobilized and committed to ensuring a smooth summer in terms of energy supply. To achieve this, the company has mobilized nine teams of small interventions and 15 intervention teams, as well as a heavy team at the level of its five electricity districts.
The commercial agencies of the SDC are also working to raise awareness among subscribers to rationalize their energy consumption. A sensitization campaign has been launched, including radio broadcasts and the distribution of flyers, to inform subscribers about ways to control their electricity consumption. The goal is to encourage subscribers to adopt behaviors that reduce their energy consumption, particularly during peak summer periods.
The SDC de Bouira emphasizes the need for subscribers to change their daily behavior to reduce their electricity bills. The company advises investing in new, energy-efficient lamps and turning off lighting in unoccupied areas. The SDC reiterates its availability to intervene in case of power outages or disruptions on its network and invites subscribers to contact its services for any claims or incidents.
In conclusion, the SDC de Bouira is committed to providing a reliable energy supply to its subscribers during the summer season. Despite the challenges posed by opposition to its projects, the company remains determined to achieve its objectives and ensure a comfortable summer for its customers. The SDC encourages subscribers to play their part in rationalizing energy consumption and reducing their bills.
