The project will focus on household connections in the following areas:
- Ambupugl to Komoli
- Kero to Kaka
- Ialibu to Kagua
- Map to Bela
- Koen to Karel
- Pongal to Sumbra
This collaboration represents the first time JICS, acting under the auspices of the Japanese Government, has extended its support to development initiatives in the Southern Highlands Province. To ensure the success of the projects, the Southern Highlands Provincial Administration (SHPA), led by Acting Provincial Administrator David Kelma, has committed to providing security and logistical assistance, working closely with JICS and PNG Power Limited (PPL).
The signing ceremony was attended by Nagasaku Masahiro, Project Manager for JICS, who highlighted the potential of the initiative to bring about meaningful change in the region.
Community members residing within the designated project areas are urged to extend their cooperation to contractors and the JICS team as they work to deliver electricity to rural households. This development is anticipated to enhance living standards, empower local communities, and stimulate economic progress in the Southern Highlands Province.
