EEDC explains reason for recent drop in power supply in S/East
The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the recent drop in power supply availability in electricity across the South-East to low frequency of power supply.
The Group Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, said in a statement on Tuesday in Enugu that the development was occasioned by gas constraints affecting the Generation Companies (GenCos).
“This development has necessitated the load shedding of available energy by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
“As a result, this development has impacted energy allocation to EEDC and the daily service level to customers served by its subsidiary companies, namely: MainPower, TransPower, FirstPower, NewEra, and EastLand.
“Efforts are currently being made by critical stakeholders in the electricity supply industry to address this challenge and restore normal power distribution,” he said.
Ezeh said that EEDC had sincerely apologised for the inconvenience this situation had caused its esteemed customers.
“We also appreciate the patience and understanding electricity customers across the South-East,” he added.
