EKEDC confirms persistent load shedding in Lagos
The management of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company on Monday confirmed the persistent load-shedding in the Lagos region.
This is as residents across the Lagos region continue to experience significant power disruptions due to ongoing faults on the 330kV transmission lines.
In a statement released on its X handle, EKEDC confirmed that the persistent load-shedding is a direct result of reduced power allocation from the Transmission Company of Nigeria, their primary partner in power distribution.
“This is to kindly update you that we are still experiencing reduced power allocation from our TCN partners due to faults on the 330kV lines feeding the Lagos region. The situation has resulted in the continued load-shedding across our network leading to the current power situation you are experiencing,” EKEDC stated.
EKEDC acknowledged the inconvenience, assuring customers that they are actively working to resolve the issue.
“Rest assured that we are taking all necessary steps to address the situation as we work closely with TCN and other partners to resolve the issue and ensure a more stable power supply soonest,” the statement continued.
EKEDC also thanked their “valued customers” for their “patience and understanding” during this challenging period.
It has stated that it will continue to work with TCN to restore the full power supply as quickly as possible.
