The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has explained the reason behind the prolonged and intermittent power outages being experienced by customers across Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, Ibadan and Osun states.
The company said the situation is due to a reduction in load allocation from the national grid, which has limited the amount of electricity available for distribution within its franchise areas.
In a statement issued by its management, IBEDC expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to residents and businesses affected by the outages.
“IBEDC is actively engaging the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO) to improve supply stability.
“In the interim, available load is being strategically allocated and equitably distributed across feeders and service bands to ensure fairness and operational efficiency.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of our customers and remain committed to keeping you informed as the situation evolves.”
The company added that it will continue to update customers as efforts to stabilise supply progress.
