The management of Eko Electricity Distribution Company on Monday announced that beginning from May 3, there will be power rationing in Lekki, Ikoyi, Victoria Island and some parts of Ajah, all regarded as highbrow areas of Lagos State.
This was contained in a statement by the General Manager, Corporate Communications Unit of EKEDC, Godwin Idemudia, a copy of which was made available to News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
According to the statement, this is to enable the Transmission Company of Nigeria upgrade both Line 1 and Line 2 of Ajah-Alagbon transmission line from 132kv to 330kv.
It stated that during the upgrade operation, which would last between three to four weeks, the Lekki transmission injection sub-station, which serves those areas, would be completely shut down.
The statement said: “To ensure that the areas are not completely out of supply during the duration of the upgrade operation, alternative power supply arrangement would be made through back-feeding operation to the areas from Alagbon Transmission injection sub-station via Ijora.
“We appeal to customers to show understanding and bear with the situation during the period of the facility upgrade exercise.
“All efforts will be made to ensure equitable distribution of available power to all customers.”
The statement also assured customers that by the time the upgrade is completed, it would result in tremendous improvement in power supply to all customers in the area.
