Enugu, Nigeria – The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EEDC) has announced a total system collapse of the national grid, leading to a widespread blackout across the South-East region of Nigeria.
The incident occurred at 6:48 PM on Monday, October 14, 2024.
In a statement issued by EEDC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Emeka Ezeh, the company confirmed the power outage has affected all of its interface stations connected to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). As a result, customers in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States are currently without electricity.
