AEDC Addresses Electricity Supply Issues in Nasarawa State Amid Revenue Challenges
Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) has reported significant electricity supply challenges in Nasarawa State, with power allocations to Lafia fluctuating between 5 MW and 10 MW, insufficient to meet demand. The situation has resulted in prolonged outages, primarily due to national constraints affecting hydropower generation and gas supply.
AEDC has increased its power supply to Lafia to 10 MW and is advocating for better allocations from the national grid. The company is exploring partnerships for solar mini-grids and other renewable energy projects to enhance reliability. AEDC emphasizes the importance of revenue collection for operations and encourages customer dialogue regarding concerns.
