GEDCo's Technical Achievements from August 1998 till 31 December 2010

 

Regardless of the difficult circumstances that faced the company like the lack of financial resources, the lack of electricity supply from Israel and the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, GEDCo management and staff faced all these difficulties and went forward to supply Gaza Strip with electricity by constructing hundreds of projects especially after the Gaza Power Plant started operating.

 

The projects implemented  by GEDCo from August 1998 until 31 December 2010 has been 3,969  projects as follows:

 

1. Implementation of minor and major projects:

·       GEDCo has implemented 565 of the major projects, which are projects for the installation of medium voltage networks (22 K.V) and the installation of distribution transformers (22 / 0.4 K.V) to feed factories, firms, institutions, ministries and residence blocks with electricity.

·       GEDCo also finished 2365 minor projects which included low voltage networks to feed houses that are away from the network with electricity.

2. Develop and increase the efficiency of the network :

The company has executed 993 projects for the purposes of the following:

1.     Installation of new transformers to reduce loads on the existing transformers.

2.     Rehabilitation of old networks and medium-voltage networks to improve network efficiency and reduce losses.

3.     Rehabilitation of low-voltage networks which is old and close to the citizens houses where un-insulated cables has been changed to isolated ABC cables , thus removing away the danger the citizens exposed to ,  reduce losses and solving the problem of voltage drop.

4.     Installation of new medium-voltage networks and transformers in remote areas, which suffer from the problem of very low voltage.
