11. Faculty of Medicine – O & G and PGME- upgrading of system from 4kV to 24kV.          30%

Upgrading the electrical supply 24kV to our facilities on the UHWI compound will greatly improve the power quality and eliminate the low voltage, being experienced.
Significant improvement is on-going on UWI Mona campus 24kVsystem, alongside the maintenance programme. This system is being redesigned to enable sectional scheduled outages rather than the campus-wide that entails.
Our aim is to provide UWI – Mona with a system the meets 1st. world standards.
