Organized under the coordination of the sectoral regulator, the mission brings together technical teams from Socadel, officials from the Ministry of Water and Energy, delegates from the Yaoundé Urban Community, and members of the Cameroonian Electricity Consumers' Consultative Committee.

Such presence aims to diagnose network dysfunctions and untimely outages that compromise the preservation of perishable goods, paralyze work tools, and expose commercial spaces to fire risks of electrical origin. In addition to recording outages and faulty installations, agents collect testimonies from traders, whose financial losses sometimes reach 30% of turnover during prolonged interruptions.


Restoring continuity, quality, and reliability of the public electricity service constitutes a major economic challenge for the sustainability of over 15,000 very small enterprises (VSEs) operating in the city's market stalls.

Beyond identifying technical failures, field visits will help harmonize interventions between the network operator, municipal administration, and users, for transformer maintenance and securing connections. Eradicating fraudulent connections will help reduce the operational deficit estimated at several tens of millions of FCFA each quarter, thus avoiding recurrent transformer overloads in neighborhoods.


Carried out through this rigorous inventory conducted close to users, the regulatory authority intends to compel operational actors to implement the necessary adjustments to secure electricity supply. Moreover, the realization of this proximity commitment will offer traders a secure operating framework, indispensable to the economic dynamism of the capital.
