The customers in the Lagos region are still undergoing significant power cuts due to persisting problems on the 330kV transmission lines.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company management confirmed this in a statement made on Monday through its X account.
It further stated that the ongoing load shedding is a direct result of low power allocation by the Transmission Company of Nigeria, its primary power distribution partner.
“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.
The outage has raised much ire with companies and individuals in Lagos that rely heavily on a reliable source of power supply.
EKEDC expressed regret over the inconvenience and told consumers that they were in the process of resolving the problem.
“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.
EKEDC has stated that it will continue to work with TCN to restore the full power supply as quickly as possible.
