Cutting down of trees near electricity installations, building under electrical poles and burning of trees or grasse's near electricity installation disrupt power supply, the Business Manager, Kubwa Business Unit of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria has said.

Enginee Muhammed A.Sule said other things that disrupt electricity include making transformer houses as warehouse and tempering with installation by unauthorised personnel.

He said this at the second Consumer Consultative Council Meeting of the Unit in Kubwa, Abuja.

He said PHCN installations are very expensive and are not always available, therefore people should desist from any activity that will poses danger to such installations.

He explained that in most occasions, customers' attitude is responsible for system failure, saying that "if you destroy them we can't get replacement easily and the little revenue we are generating is not enough."

Sule said the Unit at the moment requires about 27 transformers. Only 9 transformers were allocated to the Unit, he said.

He urged Customers to corporate with the PHCN staff, saying that "we cannot achieve much without full support and corporation which we can get through the prompt payment of your electricity bills, protecting our installation against."

He said the unit has come up with quick intervention measures to address the immediate problems that face the communities before the end of December, which include replacing obsolete /failed transformers, upgrading of some transformers /cables, creating relief substation and addressing illegal activities of some customers on transformers, usage of substandard materials and illegal tempering of metres.
