Minister for Public Works, Meteorogical Services and Transport, Honourable Ro Filipe Tuisawau yesterday commissioned the new Nabouwalu Power House.
The new Power House replaces the previous one that caught fire last year burning out a generator set and electrical cables.
In his official address, Minister Tuisawau said the opening of the new Power House demonstrates Government's commitment in the provision of reliable power supply to our people.
"The new double story building houses the generators at the bottom with the office space in the upper level.
"To ensure that the fire incident is not repeated, the new building has an office space and a kitchen for officers to be there full time.
"This will allow officers to monitor the generators and attend to breakdown as and when it happens.
Minister Tuisawau added that Nabouwalu is growing in terms of business and there are plans to expand the operations of the Power Station.
"Government recognizes the need to expand the power supply network in Nabouwalu and there are plans in place to ensure that this happens.
Meanwhile, Minister Tuisawau will be touring key infrastructure projects in the North in his 3 day tour.
