The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has stated that the recent drop in power supply across the South-East is due to shortage of gas.
In a statement by Emeka Ezeh, the Group Head, Corporate Communications of the EEDC, the company apologized “for the inconvenience this situation has caused its esteemed customers.”
The statement read; “…the EEDC wishes to inform electricity customers across the South-East region that the recent drop in power supply availability is due to low system frequency, occasioned by gas constraints affecting the Generation Companies. 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.
“EEDC sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience this situation has caused its esteemed customers and appreciates their patience and understanding.”
