The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has attributed the widespread power outages and unstable electricity supply in its network to a reduction in electricity allocation from the national grid.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the company said the shortfall has affected customers across Oyo, Kwara, Ogun, Osun and parts of Ibadan, expressing regret over the disruption.
IBEDC explained that the decline in load allocation has limited the volume of power available for distribution within its franchise areas, resulting in intermittent supply and extended blackout periods.
The distribution firm said it is working closely with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO) to resolve the situation and improve supply reliability.
While efforts are ongoing, IBEDC noted that the electricity currently available is being shared strategically across feeders and service bands to promote fairness and maintain operational balance.
The company appealed for customers’ understanding, assuring them of its commitment to keeping the public informed as developments unfold and supply conditions improve.
