IBEDC Apologizes for Worsening Electricity Supply Issues

The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), represented by Adeola Badru, has issued an apology to its customers across its franchise for the worsening electricity supply situation. The company has experienced widespread outages and supply constraints due to significant reductions in power generation capacity from national plants, leading to increased load shedding.

IBEDC noted that electricity demand in its franchise area has sharply risen in recent months, which has been exacerbated by regulatory directives to add feeder lines. Despite the rising demand, the amount of electricity allocated to IBEDC from the national grid remains unstable, resulting in a supply shortfall.

The company acknowledges the frustrations of customers and the protests that have arisen in response to prolonged supply challenges. IBEDC urges affected communities to pursue dialogue rather than confrontational actions and is actively engaging with community leaders and stakeholders to address the imbalance in energy allocation and restore stable electricity supply.
