More Consumers In Cameroon Get Electricity

More people in Cameroon get electricity, according to a statement issued by the governing body of AES-SONEL, the major public hydro energy supplier in the Central African nation. In fact, the access rate to electricity in Cameroon increased from 29 percent to 49 percent between 2001 and 2013, reports Afrique Jet.

In its report AES-SONEL highlights its achievements made over the last 12 years in terms of electricity supply. AES-SONEL is a public company in charge of energy supply and distribution in the Central African nation. It ranked Cameroon as third on in Africa in the World Bank’s 2013 Doing Business Report, which gave Cameroon the most business friendly profile.

Some 400,000 consumers were connected to electricity in 2001 and now 12 years later, the figure is 850,000, according to the report.

“PANA reports that AES-SONEL, whose parent company, AES-Corp, is based in U.S., is about to close operations in Cameroon,” reports Afrique Jet.
