Ikeja Electric Cites National Grid Shortfall for Power Cuts

Ikeja Electric Plc has announced that the reduced hours of electricity supply across its network are due to a shortfall in power allocated from the national grid. This information was disclosed in a public notice posted on its X page, signed by the company's management.

The notice explained that the reduced supply has been affecting customers and acknowledged the inconvenience this situation may cause. Ikeja Electric expressed appreciation for customers' patience and understanding during this period.

The company is actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to enhance the available power supply and assured customers that it will continue to distribute the power received from the grid as efficiently and equitably as possible. Additionally, Ikeja Electric committed to keeping customers informed as the situation evolves.

Earlier in March 2026, the company had also cited a nationwide decline in power generation due to limited gas supply to thermal power plants as a contributing factor to reduced electricity supply.
