AEDC blames Abuja blackout on inadequate power allocation
The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) said insufficient power allocation to the company by generation stations was responsible for the unstable electricity supply in the FCT.
AEDC’s management, in a statement in Abuja said due to the limited energy allocation, the company had to implement load curtailment directives, across its franchise, in order to manage the situation for grid stability.
”We would like to inform that we are aware of the unstable power supply, experienced in recent days, essentially caused by insufficient power. We understand that this may cause inconveniences to our customers, and we are doing everything we can, to ensure that the impact of the outage is minimised,” the company stated, saying it appreciated “your understanding during this challenging time.”
AEDC assured its customers in the areas affected that it would continue to update them on the situation, and provide any necessary information as it becomes available.
