IBEDC moves to tackle outage, improve supply in Oyo community

{'rendered': '

Following the recent protest by some residents in Ibadan, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has disclosed ongoing efforts to restore power outage in the Lalupon community among other underserved communities in the area.

This is as the company expressed an apology to the affected communities for the poor supply noting that it is also losing more by not being able to supply power to meet customers’ needs.

The company said prior to the protest, a proactive move was already ongoing which was not only aimed at ensuring that residents in the affected community start to enjoy more power supply in the area but also to enhance service delivery and expand access to other communities across its franchise areas.

Speaking, at a press conference held at IBEDC Headquarters, Ring Road, Ibadan. the Coordinating Head, Corporate Services, Mrs. Angela Olanrewaju lamented that despite the award of the 33KV substation project in Lalupon, funded by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as part of the IBEDC-PIP CBN CAPEX PROJECTS – 2023, the project is pending due to the awaited CBN financial intervention.

According to her, part of the ongoing frantic measures taken by IBEDC include but are not limited to, 65 percent of customers on the feeder, who are currently receiving supply, with 40 transformers on load shedding while exploring options to backfeed some of the remaining Distribution Substations (DSS) from an alternative feeder.

She said other measures being put in place are the; New Asejire to Lalupon quick wins and extensive use of Isolators with the existing network arrangement within a timeline of three weeks as well as cascading of load between feeders within a timeline of four weeks.
