In response to constant power outages currently being experienced in Nigeria’s commercial capital, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has attributed the outage currently being experienced by customers under their networks to a drop in power generation.

According to a statement sent to customers, “Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) load allocation to our network has dropped from 440MW to 290MW due to low generation.”

EKO Disco added, “This has led to massive load shedding across our network.”
