The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has explained that the poor power supply currently experienced by its customers across the South East is beyond the organisation.
The company attributed the situation to low energy generation, which has resulted in a drop in power supply availability.
The Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Mr Emeka Ezeh, who made this known, appealed to customers to bear with them.
He said, “the development has resulted in low generation, leading to a reduction in the quantum of daily megawatt hour (MWH) of energy allocated to distribution companies nationwide, thereby impacting the quality of service to its customers.”
“We understand the inconveniences this situation has caused our esteemed customers and appeal for their understanding as it is beyond us.
“We can only distribute what is allocated to us,” Ezeh explained.
He however stated that efforts are being made by the various stakeholders in the power sector to address the issue, and expressed optimism that the move will yield positive result so that normal distribution would return.
Ezeh assured that EEDC remains committed to providing improved services to her teeming customers.
