Ikeja Electric has apologised to customers on several Band A feeders after failing to meet the minimum 20-hour daily electricity supply target on October 25 and 26, with some feeders recording zero hours of supply on both days.
In a circular dated October 27, the electricity distribution
company said it fell short of the expected service level on the affected
feeders.
“Dear Esteemed Customer, we apologize for falling short of
the expected minimum service level of 20 hours on the Band A feeders below for
October 25th and 26th, 2026,” Ikeja Electric said.
The DisCo listed affected feeders across Ikeja, Shomolu,
Oshodi, and Akowonjo, with disruptions attributed to network faults, grid
instability, transformer limitations, and panel-swapping work.
The company said five feeders in Shomolu — 11-Magodo
INJ-T1-Emanuel Keshi, 11-Magodo INJ-T1-Shangisha, 11-Magodo INJ-T1-Owulade,
11-Magodo INJ-T2-Bashiru, and 11-Magodo INJ-T2-CMD –recorded zero hours of
electricity supply on October 25 and 26.
The company attributed the supply disruption to “panel
swap”.
Ikeja Electric said the 11-PTC INJ-T2-Awuse feeder in Ikeja
recorded 19.28 hours of supply on October 25 and 18.72 hours on October 26,
while the 11-Oworo INJ-T3-Anthony feeder in Shomolu received 6.38 hours and
19.32 hours, respectively.
The circular listed “11KV fault” and “grid instability”
among the causes of disruptions affecting feeders.
Ikeja Electric said other feeders were affected by what the
company described as “power transformer limitation”, alongside faults on its
11kV and 33kV networks.
The DisCo said the 11-Alimosho INJ-T8-Okunola feeder in
Akowonjo recorded 16.55 hours of supply on October 25 and 18.95 hours the
following day, while the 11-PTC INJ-T2-Medical feeder in Ikeja recorded 15.82
hours and 18.72 hours, respectively.
According to Ikeja Electric, the 33-Orgba TCN-MTN feeder in
Ikeja also recorded zero hours of electricity supply on both days, with a 33kV
fault listed among the causes of the disruption.
The company apologised for the latest disruptions, saying,
“we regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.”
Ikeja Electric had previously attributed reduced electricity
supply across its network to a shortfall in power allocated from the national
grid.
In a statement on October 6, the company said it was
engaging relevant stakeholders to improve supply and would continue
distributing available electricity “as efficiently and equitably as possible”.
Three weeks later, on October 19, the company again
attributed reduced supply hours across its network to insufficient power
allocated from the national grid.
