Heba Press – Al Hoceima
The Regional Directorate of the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water has allocated a budget of around 200 million centimes to replace fallen electric poles in various rural communities in the province of Al Hoceima.
Many groups are aware of falling utility poles, which pose a threat to citizen safety due to frayed wires hitting the ground.
This precipitation is due to the harsh mountain climatic conditions, often dominated by rain and snowfall, accompanied by strong winds, in addition to the phenomenon of soil erosion and the exposure of certain wooden poles to corrosion due to insects and fungi.
As part of its efforts to improve the situation, the National Electricity Office carried out during the year 2023 an inventory of poles that have fallen or are at risk of falling, their number reaching around 7,500 poles.
As a result, the Regional Directorate has started to take the necessary measures to allocate the necessary funds for the replacement of these columns.
