Poor Energy Supply in South-East Beyond EEDC’s Control

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, has acknowledged the current inadequate power supply in the South-East, attributing it to low energy generation that has affected power availability in general. Emeka Ezeh, the Head of Corporate Communications at EEDC, addressed the media in Enugu, expressing the company’s limitations in addressing the situation. Ezeh urged residents to be patient, explaining that the reduced energy generation has led to a decline in the daily megawatt hour (MWH) of energy allocated to distribution companies nationwide, consequently impacting service quality. “We understand the inconvenience caused to our esteemed customers and appeal for their understanding as it is beyond us. We can only distribute what is allocated to us,” Ezeh stated, highlighting the collaborative efforts within the power sector to resolve the issue and restore normal distribution. EEDC remains dedicated to enhancing services for its valued customers amidst these challenges.
