Power Outage Deepens in Enugu and South-East as EEDC Blames Gas Constraints, Leaving Band A Customers Paying High Tariffs With Poor Supply
Electricity outages have worsened across Enugu State and the wider South-East, with the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) blaming nationwide generation challenges caused by gas constraints. The company said reduced power generation forced the Transmission Company of Nigeria to shed load, leading to lower energy allocation and erratic supply. Despite these explanations, residents—especially Band A customers paying as much as N209 per kilowatt-hour—have expressed outrage over receiving far less than the minimum 20 hours of electricity mandated by regulators. Consumer groups are now urging NERC and the Enugu State Government to intervene, enforce service-level agreements, and protect consumers from overbilling without commensurate power supply.
