The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has said that the reason for the loss of supply currently being experienced in parts of its network was due to the ongoing strike action by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
The company said the strike resulted in the shutdown of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) stations feeding its injection substations.
The head of corporate communications of EEDC, Emeka Ezeh, who made this known in Enugu on Wednesday, September 6, confirmed the affected TCN Stations as, New Haven, Ohiya, and Egbu Transmission Stations.
According to him, the development affected the supply to customers of EEDC under Ogui, Abakpa, Umuahia, Owerri, New Owerri, Orlu, and Mbaise districts, feeding from the affected TCN Stations.
He said: “We shall continue to monitor events and provide timely updates as they affect our operations and service to our customers.
“We are mindful of the inconveniences this situation has caused our esteemed customers and plead for their understanding.”
