TCN improves electricity stability in Southeast – EEDC claims


Enugu Electricity Distribution has said the Transmission Company of Nigeria has improved electricity network stability and service delivery in the Southeast region.

Managing Director of EEDC, Dr Ernest Mupwaya, disclosed this at the second quarter interface meeting between Enugu Disco and TCN.

Mupwaya, who led the EEDC management said the interface meeting has been quite useful as it has helped tremendously in resolving operational challenges and enhancing the quality of supply to customers.

In his remarks, the Assistant General Manager, TCN Enugu Region, Charles Iwuamadi who represented the General Manager, Dr Thomas Inugonum emphasized the importance of interfacing and working together for the overall success of the sector.

Akinuli assured their team’s commitment and passion to see EEDC succeed and called for enhanced communication between both parties to ensure seamless operations.

“If EEDC grows, part of the credit will come to TCN”, Akinuli said.

The meeting comes amid Nigeria’s continued power sector challenges.

So far in 2024, the country has witnessed 5 national grid collapses which resulted in blackouts.

This is as Nigerians have continued to groan over the electricity tariff hikes in April and July 2024 for Band customers getting 20-24 hours of power supply.
