To further improve electricity distribution in the city, Government through the Ministry of Energy has contracted the services of Aggreko Electricity Company for six months to fill in the gap during the dry season.
In 2015, the Minister of Energy, Ambassador Henry Macauley, during a media brief, assured newsmen that it would be the last year Sierra Leoneans will experience power outages during the drys.
This dream was to become a reality in 2016, but hopes were dashed as the ministry was not able to fulfil its commitment to provide continuous power to Freetonians.
However, as residents continue to cope with the problem, the ministry was not complacent about the challenge to provide electricity, as it sought the services of Aggreko Electricity Company as stop gap measure, while spares were being procured to carryout routine maintenance on the thermal machines brought in by the Japanese Government.
