Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has appealed to its esteemed customers for understanding following the recent decline in power supply.
In a statement titled,” Reason for the drop in power supply”, made available to Newsmen on Friday in Enugu, the Group Head, Corporate Communications EEDC, Emeka Ezeh, the “situation is primarily due to inadequate gas supply to the thermal generating stations”.
According to Ezeh, “This development has significantly reduced the energy allocated to EEDC, thereby affecting power availability to our customers across the network”.
Thr statement reads in parts:
“In view of the substantial drop in energy generation, and to maintain grid stability as well as prevent system disturbances, the Independent System Operator (ISO) is implementing load shedding across the system.
“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.”
The EEDC apologized to its customers for the inconveniences.
“We sincerely regret the inconvenience this situation may cause our esteemed customers and appreciate your continued patience and understanding,” the Company stated.
