In a second phase, authorities intend to raise supply beyond current demand, with a reserve of over 10 MW intended notably to meet new connection requests and support economic development. The handed-over equipment also includes two high-capacity transformers, totaling 2,600 kVA. They should help improve energy transformation and distribution on the local network.
