The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has announced the gradual restoration of electricity supply after the total system collapse within the South-East.

Ezeh said that the company’s Awada Transmission Station had been restored, adding that Awada, Osamala, 3-3, Army Barracks, Nnewi-Orba, and Obosi 33KV feeders and the PPI and IUNT 11KV outgoing feeders had received supply so far in Anambra.
“Ugwuaji Transmission Station has equally received supply and Gariki 33KV feeder was restored so far.
“New-Haven Transmission Station has received supply and Kingsway 33KV Line 1 and Power-House 11KV outgoing feeder have been restored so far.
“Agu-Awka Transmission Station received supply but is presently placed on station services only.
“Kindly note that restoration after system collapse is gradual to avoid further collapse or challenges,” he stated.
The EEDC spokesman added that power restoration is ongoing even as “we appeal to our customers in locations that are yet to be restored to be patient as all hands are on deck”.
“EEDC remains committed to delivering improved services to her esteemed customers.”
The electricity system collapse was reported at about 12:30 a.m. on Thursday which left the entire South-East in total darkness and affected businesses.
