The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has apologised to its South-East customers over drop in Electricity supply across the zone.
EEDC said that the recent drop in power supply availability is due to low system frequency, occasioned by gas constraints affecting the Generation Companies.
It stated that 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.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Group Head, Corporate communications, Emeka Ezeh and made available to journalists.
According to the statement, 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.
