The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has acknowledged the intermittent power supply and prolonged outages currently being experienced by customers across its franchise areas covering Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, Ibadan and Osun states.

The company expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to residents and businesses affected by the situation.

In a statement issued by its management, IBEDC explained that the challenge was caused by a reduction in load allocation from the national grid, which has significantly limited the amount of electricity available for distribution within its franchise area.

“IBEDC is 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.

“We appreciate the patience and understanding of our customers and remain committed to keeping you informed as the situation evolves.” (The Nation)
