EKEDC Blames Faulty Transmission Lines for Lagos Power Shortages
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) has attributed the ongoing poor power supply in Lagos to faults on the 330kV transmission lines supplying electricity to the region.
In a statement issued yesterday, the company explained that a reduced power allocation from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has resulted in load-shedding across its network.
“This is to kindly update you that we are still experiencing reduced power allocation from our TCN partners due to faults on the 330kV lines feeding the Lagos region,” EKEDC stated.
The company reassured customers that efforts are underway to resolve the issue in collaboration with TCN and other stakeholders.

“Rest assured that we are taking all necessary steps to address the situation as we work closely with TCN and other partners to resolve the issue and ensure a more stable power supply soonest.”
However, EKEDC did not provide a timeline for when normal power supply would be fully restored.
This development follows worsening electricity supply in Lagos over the past week, leaving residents frustrated as power outages persist.
