“We sincerely regret the ongoing power supply challenges currently affecting some areas within our network due to reduced power allocation from the grid,” the company said.
To manage the shortfall, Ikeja Electric disclosed that it has begun controlled load distribution across its coverage areas.
“As part of efforts to maintain grid stability and ensure equitable distribution of available power, temporary load shedding is being implemented across affected feeders and locations,” it added.
The distribution company also stated that it is working with stakeholders across the electricity value chain to improve supply and reduce the impact on consumers.
The outages come amid wider electricity shortages in Lagos and other parts of the country, largely linked to ongoing gas supply constraints affecting power generation.
