State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) has initiated the process of dismantling its fuel pump station located on Male’s ring road in response to public demand and the challenges faced by the community.
A formal agreement has been established between STELCO and MTCC for the relocation of the pump station to the southern marine area of Male’.
STELCO has communicated that the commencement and completion of the relocation work, contingent upon receiving approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are anticipated within a 60-day timeframe.
In collaboration with MTCC, the project involves the demolition of the existing infrastructure in the harbor basin and the subsequent construction of a new pump station building.
The project holds a valuation of MVR 7.14 million and is slated for completion within a 90-day period.
Under the leadership of the newly appointed Managing Director, Hussein Fahmy, STELCO is actively advancing its operations. Notably, the removal of heavy-duty transformers on Muiveyo Magu has already been executed, addressing significant road obstruction.
According to Fahmy, with this initiative, STELCO aims to address and resolve all issues that have been causing inconvenience to the public.
“The relocation of the fuel pump station, identified as a significant concern among the community, along with the removal of the existing bottleneck in transportation, will bring relief to commuters traversing the area,” he said.
He mentioned that the government and STELCO express great satisfaction and joy in undertaking such measures aligned with the needs and concerns of the people.
