The Saudi Electricity Company’s program “Alkahraba Friend” has attracted thousands of Saudi and expat volunteers and encouraged them to report any observations regarding electricity safety by sending a WhatsApp message to 0533991100 or on alkahrabafriend on Twitter.

The response came during the first two-day Saudi forum for volunteerism.

The Alkahraba Friend program has encouraged volunteerism since it takes less than a minute to report an observation on electricity safety, said vice president for liaison and public relations at SEC Hamoud Al-Ghubaini.

He said the SEC takes immediate action on the reports by dispatching technical teams to the sites.
