The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has attributed the current power outage in parts of its franchise to the ongoing two-day warning strike led by organised labour, particularly the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Mr. Emeka Ezeh, the Head of Corporate Communications at EEDC, stated this in a statement released in Enugu.
EEDC stated that this strike has resulted in the shutdown of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) stations responsible for supplying power to its Injection Substations in certain areas of the South-East.
Ezeh verified that the affected TCN stations include New Haven, Ohiya, and Egbu Transmission Stations.
This situation has impacted the supply of electricity to customers in EEDC’s Ogui, Abakpa, Umuahia, Owerri, New Owerri, Orlu, and Mbaise districts, all of which are dependent on the affected TCN stations.
EEDC assured that it would closely monitor the situation and provide timely updates regarding its operations and customer service during this challenging period.
The company also expressed its understanding of the inconveniences faced by its valued customers and requested their patience and understanding.
