Reduction in load allocation from the national grid has limited the electricity available for distribution to Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, and Osun States, the management of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has explained.

This is in reaction to IBEDC’s customers agitation over the ongoing irregular electricity supply to its areas of franchise.

In a public notice posted to its official social media platforms, the IBEDC acknowledged the intermittent supply and extended outage periods currently being experienced by customers, expressing sincere regrets over the inconvenience this has caused.

Explaining the reason for the short supply, IBEDC explained that, “This situation is due to a reduction in load allocation from the national grid, which has limited the electricity available for distribution within our franchise.”

Speaking on the measures being taken to address the situation, the company said it was actively engaging the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO) to improve supply stability.

“In the interim, available load is being strategically allocated and equitably distributed across feeders and service bands to ensure fairness and operational efficiency,” the statement said.

IBEDC commended the patience and understanding of the customers while assuring of its commitment to keeping them informed as the situation evolves. (LEADERSHIP)
