The entire five South East states of Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Abia and Imo States, have been thrown into darkness following what the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, described as “General System Collapse”.
The Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, Emeka Ezeh, in a notice he signed, said that the cause of the total blackout was because of the collapse of all their outgoing feeders in the five states.
Eze also said that they are on standby, and waiting for signal from National Control Centre (NCC) for restoration of supply.
The notice reads: “The Enugu Electricity Distribution PLC (EEDC) wishes to inform her esteemed customers in the South East of a general system collapse which occurred this morning, Monday, 14th March, 2022 at 10:40 am.
