Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has begun the upgrade and migration of its customers, to improve electricity service delivery in the Southeast from November 1.
The upgrade and migration, which involve more investment in electricity installation and boosters, will improve electricity power from its least supply axis from about six hours to over 13 hours daily.
EEDC Head of Corporate Communications Mr. Emeka Ezeh, speaking with reporters in Enugu about the latest investment of the company in its network covering the Southeast, said the move also means additional seven hours supply across board in the Southeast.
He said the move was in keeping with EEDC’s commitment to consistently investing in its network and improving quality of service.
Ezeh said: “This exercise will affect customers served by 40 feeders spread across Abia, Anambra, Enugu and Imo states; with Abia and Imo accounting for 72.5 per cent of the improvement.
“The investments made by EEDC on its network have continued to yield positive results, as customers served by these affected feeders will begin to enjoy guaranteed daily supply above 13 hours from next month.
“With this development, customers are expected to support EEDC by paying their bills to enable the company sustain this standard and make more investment in its network, translating to improved service delivery.
“Customers are therefore urged to desist from acts capable of undermining these positive efforts embarked on by EEDC.’’
He added: “There is no doubt that the customers that are migrated will begin to spend less on alternative power, as the resources used in maintaining and running their generators will be used to take care of other needs.
“EEDC remains committed to delivering on its promise of providing improved services to its esteemed customers, but counts on their support to actualise this.”
