Eneo Leads Transformation
As a key actor in the energy sector, Eneo was chosen as the lead engineer of the distribution segment of the World Bank-funded Cameroon Electricity Sector Reform Programme (PARSEC) through the Project For Result (P4R).
The programme to replace fragile wooden poles with concrete poles on major medium voltage lines features among the P4R distribution projects. In fact, 50, 000 concrete poles are scheduled for installation by 2025. The first phase features 10,000 poles. For 2025, this programme was launched on Tuesday 08 April 2025 by the Minister of Water Resources and Energy, Gaston Eloundou Essomba, who visited factories producing concrete poles locally.
“The fall of wooden poles due to the power of storms or their dilapidated state is among the numerous causes of power supply interruptions. Out of the 1,600,000 wooden poles that carry out power lines, around 40% are outdated. This programme will enable the government transition from wood to concrete with the initial objective of installing 50,000 concrete poles this year by replacing the falling wooden poles, ” the minister stated.
