The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) wishes to inform its esteemed customers that the current loss of supply experienced in some parts of the South East results from the ongoing nationwide strike by the organised labour.
Earlier today, the task force team of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) visited the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) stations, forced workers out, including our interface Distribution Substation Officers (DSO), and shut down the stations.
This action resulted in the loss of supply from the New Haven, Abakaliki, Ugwuaji, Oji River, Agu Awka, Nibo, Ohiya, and Awada TCN stations.
Consequently, the entire Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra States, and the Umuahia District in Abia State have no electricity supply.
Currently, the Nru TCN Station in Nsukka, fed from the Otukpo axis, is the only station still with an electricity supply in our entire network.
It will be recalled that our customers in Imo State have been without electricity supply since November 1, 2023, following a faceoff between the Labour Union and the Imo State government, which led to the shutdown of the Egbu TCN Station, our source of supply.
We are aware of the inconveniences this development has caused our customers and plead for their understanding, as the situation is beyond our control.
We are hopeful that the issue will be resolved soon so we can restore supply to our esteemed customers.
