The Jos Electricity Distribution Plc (JED), has vowed to support the expansion of rural and urban electrification programme in Plateau to boost its economy.
The Managing Director of JED, Abdu Mohammed, disclosed this during his visit to Governor Simon Lalong in Jos.
Mohammed also promised to push for the completion of the 132 KV line to Pankshin, 2×40 MVA, 132/33KV transmission station to service the entire Central and Southern parts of Plateau, covering 13 out of the 17 Local Government Ares of the state.
He said; “We will participate in electricity expansion in rural communities and to urban areas that will support the economy of the industry that we are involved in the state.''
“Places like the industrial clusters and the Makeri areas have some challenges with under-frequency relay operation.''
“We have already gotten approval from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to move it away, we will ensure that the fluctuations in the area are eliminated.’’
The Managing Director applauded the development strides and peace initiatives of the governor and promised to collaborate with the State Government in all areas of electricity distribution.
Gov. Lalong on his part promised to support the management of JED in its quest to deliver constant and quality electricity to the state.
He said; “I have a strong passion for energy and lack of it has been the problem of Plateau and so if there is anything I want to do in this state is to ensure that I take energy supply to the peak.''
“We are into many things like agriculture, tourism and processing, but we cannot process because of lack of energy.’’ 
The governor further noted that the State Government will support the company in all areas to succeed and improve power supply so as to encourage the establishment of more industries in the State.
