EEDC explains recent decline in power supply across South-East

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the recent decline in power supply across the South-East to low electricity frequency.

The Group Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, said in a statement on Tuesday in Enugu that the development was caused by gas constraints affecting the Generation Companies (GenCos).

“The development has necessitated the load shedding of available energy by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

“As a result, energy allocation to EEDC and daily service levels for customers served by its subsidiary companies – MainPower, TransPower, FirstPower, NewEra, and EastLand – have been impacted.

“Efforts are being made by key stakeholders in the electricity supply industry to address the challenge and restore normal power distribution,” he said.

Ezeh apologised for the inconvenience caused to customers, adding, “We appreciate the patience and understanding of electricity consumers across the South-East.”
