“EEDC management regrets that most electricity customers in parts of Abia and Anambra have been without power supply for days due to series of faults recorded on some of the TCN network”, he said.

He further said that in the early hours of Sunday, there was an explosion at Aba Transmission Station switchyard, adding that the situation resulted in loss of supply to Alaoji Line 1.
