The newly-founded local think tank Macau Synergy Association yesterday urged the government and power utility CEM to explain why the company will have to re-lay the underground high-voltage cable connecting power utility CEM’s substation in Ilha Verde to its substation in Cotai, only five years after the cable was first laid.
The preparatory committee of the think tank held a press conference yesterday about the issue, at its office in Avenida do Conselheiro Ferreira de Almeida.
The convenor of the group’s preparatory committee, Ron Lam U Tou, said that CEM spent 240 million patacas on replacing the cable connecting the two substations from 110 KV to 220 KV in 2011 and that the work was completed in June 2012.
