The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has decried the power transmission system collapse Wednesday, which it noted resulted into mere allocation 20MW to it for distribution as against 400MW.

AEDC lamented that this has thrown most of its franchise areas of
Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States as well as a significant portion of the entire Federal Capital Territory into darkness.

A statement by General Manager,
Corporate Communications,
AEDC, Oyebode Fadipe, indicated that the power system collapse hit the transmission system of the national grid at about 12: 26 pm Wednesday, 28th July, 2021.

According to Fadipe, “Following a grid system outage that occurred at about 12:26pm today, we have been unable to serve our customers in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa States as well as a significant portion of the entire Federal Capital Territory.

“At the moment, only 20MW has been allocated to AEDC as against the over 400MW that we have been receiving in recent times.

“We urge our customers to be patient and do promise that supply will be restored to our franchise area as soon as there is significant improvement in our allocation. ”
