The Eko Electricity Distribution Company and the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company have announced power outages across several communities under their coverage areas following heavy rainfall that disrupted electricity infrastructure.
EKEDC in a statement issued on Wednesday, said electricity supply to its network had been reduced after outages on the Oshogbo-Ikeja 330kV and Benin-Egbin 330kV transmission lines, resulting in load shedding across some of its business units.
Communities affected by the disruption include Chevy View Estate, Chevron Drive, Agungi, Alpha Beach, Ikate, Elegushi, Carlton Gate, Kusenla, Victory Park Estate, Oniru, Maroko, Muri Okunola, Ajose Adeogun, Ligali Ayorinde and parts of Aboyade Cole.
Other affected locations are Morinho Drive, Landmark Road, Igbo Efon, Lekki Tollgate 2, Igbokusu, Gbangbala, Platinum Way, Jakande/Coastal Road, OADC/Mayegun, Ajiran, Chevron Alternative Area and Osapa London.
The company attributed the outage to disruptions on the national grid.
“Some business units may experience load shedding. Cause: Grid Disruption.
“Osogbo/Ikeja 330kV line down. The Benin/Egbin 330kV line is down. Impact: Reduction in grid allocation,” the statement read.
EKEDC said it was working closely with the national grid operator to restore electricity supply once the affected transmission lines are back in service but did not provide a timeline for restoration.
