The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has denied claims by the Imo State Government that it is planning widespread power outages to sabotage the state’s Light Up Imo electricity project and the new Orashi Electricity Company.
Imo’s Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, alleged that the government received intelligence that EEDC was preparing to disrupt electricity across the state.
In response, EEDC described the allegations as false, baseless, and misleading, accusing the Imo government of spreading propaganda and showing long-standing hostility toward the company.
EEDC said the real sabotage came from the state government, citing an incident on November 15, 2025, when armed policemen allegedly forced the shutdown of all feeders at TCN’s Egbu Station, leaving customers in darkness.
The company stressed:
It has no plan to carry out any major outage in the state.
Any future disruption should be blamed on the state’s actions.
It remains committed to improving power supply and investing in service delivery.
EEDC reaffirmed its mandate to ensure reliable electricity distribution in Imo State.
