Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) says some parts of Anambra State would experience black out for five days.

The Head of Corporate Communications of EEDC, Emeka Ezeh revealed this in press statement made available to journalists on Saturday.

He explained that the power outage is imperative to facilitate essential maintenance work on the facilities by engineers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Emeka Ezeh pointed out that during the period, the 60MVA power transformer at the GCM station will be taken offline. The measure according to him is part of the broader efforts to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the electricity distribution system.

Ezeh said that the affected areas primarily include customers under the Ogbaru District and some under the Onitsha District.

The EEDC Head of Corporate Communications said that the specific feeders that will experience the outage include; Harbour 33KV, Golden Oil 33KV, Dozzy 11KV, Bridge Head 11KV, E-Amobi 33KV, Atani Water Works 11KV, Premier 11KV, Housing EBH 11KV, Iyiowa 11KV, Wharf 11KV, Fegge 11KV, Uga 11KV, Market 11KV, Bida 11KV, Iweka 11KV, and Market 11KV feeders.

He said, “As a result, customers residing in Atani, Bida, Main Market, Iweka, Fegge, and adjoining estates, as well as heavy-industrial clusters within Ogbaru, should anticipate a temporary suspension of power supply during the specified period.

“EEDC expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by this development and assured customers of their commitment to swift restoration of power supply once the maintenance work is successfully concluded.

“We are committed to providing you with quality service delivery,” emphasized Emeka Ezeh, urging understanding from the affected customers during this necessary maintenance period.
