Head, Corporate Communications of EEDC, Emeka Ezeh
By CHARLES IWUOHA
The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has announced the restoration of electricity supply in all the states within the South-East, its franchise coverage area.
The Head, Corporate Communications of EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, disclosed this in a statement he issued in Enugu on Monday.
Ezeh said that power supply had since commenced in its outgoing feeders, following the restoration of the national grid which collapsed on June 12 evening.
“However, due to the low energy allocation to EEDC, occasioned by the poor generation, some of our feeders are currently put on system load-shedding by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
“We, therefore, thank our esteemed customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States for their support and understanding during the period we lost supply.
“EEDC is assuring them of our continued commitment towards providing improved services,” Ezeh said.
It would be recalled that on June 12, at about 6:49p.m., there was a grid collapse leading to EEDC outgoing feeders being knocked out of electricity supply; thus, affected supply to the entire South-East states.
