The Benin Electricity Distribution Company on Thursday announced to its customers that the electricity problem currently confronting them is beyond its control.
The company explained to its customers in Delta, Edo, Ekiti, and Ondo States in a post on its X handle that the reduction in supply was due to limitations in allocation from the national grid.
It reads, “We wish to inform you that the reduction in supply hours currently being experienced in our franchise states (Delta, Edo, Ekiti, and Ondo States) is due to constraints beyond our control, specifically limitations in allocation from the national grid.
“The inconvenience is regretted, and we sincerely apologise for any disruption to your daily routines. Please be assured that we are working diligently with all stakeholders to improve the situation and resume regular supply as soon as possible,” the DisCo said.
It however, apologised for the delay in completing the maintenance of Sapele Transmission Substation and Ihovbor Transmission Substation, saying the delay was due to prevailing technical factors.
“However, we want to assure you that work on both substations is progressing well. We anticipate completing the maintenance process and restoring full capacity soon.
“We appreciate our valued customers for their patience and understanding during this time,” it was said.”
