EEDC EXPLAINS REASON FOR DROP IN ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IN SOUTH EAST

OIP 94

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company has attributed the drop in electricity supply across the South-East region to inadequate gas supply to thermal generating stations.

EEDC disclosed this in a statement by its spokesperson, Emeka Ezeh, on Friday.

According to the disco, development has significantly reduced the energy allocated from the national grid.

EEDC apologized to users within its franchise areas for the inconvenience due to the outages.

“We assure our customers that we will continue to liaise with relevant stakeholders, hoping that the gas supply constraints and generation challenge will be resolved soon.

“We sincerely regret the inconvenience this situation may cause our esteemed customers and appreciate your continued patience and understanding,” the statement reads.

The disco statement comes barely hours after the Nigeria Independent System Operator also blamed the nationwide drop in power supply on a gas shortage.
