A delegation from the Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF), led by Investment Board Chairman Mr. Omar Malhas and accompanied by SSIF CEO Dr. Izzedine Kanakrieh, visited the Electricity Distribution Company (EDCO) to review the company’s operational readiness and emergency response arrangements, with a focus on service continuity and the timely handling of subscribers’ reports across its concession areas.
During the visit, EDCO Board Chairman Dr. Hazem Al-Rahahleh and General Manager Eng. Reem Hamdan briefed the delegation on the company’s preparedness framework, including field response mechanisms, preventive maintenance programs and ongoing network upgrades aimed at safeguarding reliability and reducing outage durations, particularly during adverse weather conditions. The briefing also covered the company’s 24/7 operational coverage and workforce readiness across the Kingdom’s largest electricity distribution concession area by geographic scope.
