Electricity Development Corporation

Electricity Development Corporation (EDC) is a Cameroonian state-owned enterprise created in 2006 that operates in the electric energy sector. Its mandate is to increase electricity production and distribution in Cameroon. A central project is the Lom-Pangar dam in eastern Cameroon, co-financed by the government, the African Development Bank and private investors. Because of potential impacts upstream and downstream of the dam, the project required a detailed impact study. Construction was delegated to a Chinese company for 75 billion CFA francs. EDC also manages an Emergency Thermal Programme (Programme Thermique d'Urgence, PTU) to address an expected deficit of 30 MW in 2011 and 100 MW by 2014, through four oil-fired thermal plants at Ahala (Yaoundé), Bamenda, Mbalmayo and Ebolowa, with the electricity produced to be sold to concessionary distribution companies. The company is based in Yaoundé and remains active in Cameroon's power sector.

Electricity Development Corporation (EDC) was created in 2006 as a Cameroonian public enterprise operating in the electric energy sector. Its objective is to increase the production and distribution of energy, notably through the Lom-Pangar dam project in eastern Cameroon. This project is co-financed by the government, the African Development Bank and private investors. Due to its potential impacts on the upstream and downstream areas of the dam, it gave rise to a detailed impact study. Construction was delegated to a Chinese company for 75 billion CFA francs. In addition, the state company piloted an Emergency Thermal Programme (Programme Thermique d'Urgence, PTU) aimed at addressing a projected deficit of 30 MW in 2011 and 100 MW by 2014, via the installation of four oil-fired thermal plants at Ahala (Yaoundé), Bamenda, Mbalmayo and Ebolowa, with the electricity produced to be sold to concessionary distribution companies.
