Why Residents Are Getting Reduced Electricity Supply -IKEDC

The authorities of Ikeja Electric have explained why residents and business in Lagos are experiencing reduced electricity supply.

The company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Mr Kingsley Okotie, likened this to drop in electricity generation, on account of insufficient gas supply.

“The ongoing reduction in electricity supply is largely due to a nationwide drop in power generation, caused by limited gas supply to thermal power plants”, he said.

“This has significantly reduced the energy available on the national grid and, consequently, the allocation to Ikeja Electric and other distribution companies,” he added.

He said there was insufficient gas supply to thermal power plants, the country’s major source of electricity generation, stating it had resulted in reduced electricity supply.
