The management of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has expressed regret over the power outage being experienced by its customers in Awada, Anambra, and other locations.
This was contained in a statement by the company’s head of corporate communications, Emeka Ezeh, in Onitsha on Saturday, who stated:
“EEDC wishes to inform its customers that the fault at Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) Awada station, which was the reason for the blackout being experienced for some days now, is receiving attention.
“Currently, TCN engineers are transferring our 3-3, Obosi, and Ossamala 33KV feeders from the faulty TR11, 60MVA 132/33KV power transformer, to the newly commissioned 100MVA power transformer in Awada TCN station.
“In order to create a safe working space for the engineers, the TR13 60MVA and Mobitra 40MVA 132/33KV power transformers are switched off, thereby affecting Niccus, Nnewi-Oba, Nnewi Industrial, Awada 2 and Army Barracks 33KV feeders. All customers that receive electricity supply from these feeders are currently out of supply.”
Ezeh, who said that the company regrets the inconveniences the development has caused its customers, assured them that supply will be restored once maintenance is completed.
