The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the recent drop in power supply across the South-East region to low system frequency caused by gas constraints affecting power generation companies.
In a public notice issued on Tuesday,signed by the Group Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Emeka Ezeh,EEDC explained that the development forced the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to commence load shedding of available energy, which in turn reduced the amount of electricity allocated to distribution companies.
According to the company, the situation has negatively affected daily electricity supply to customers served by its subsidiary companies, including MainPower, TransPower, FirstPower, NewEra, and EastLand.
EEDC noted that critical stakeholders in the electricity supply industry are currently working to resolve the challenges and restore normal power distribution across the region.
The company apologized to its customers for the inconvenience caused by the reduced power supply and appealed for patience and understanding while efforts are ongoing to stabilize the system.
