Nigeria, Lekki: To strengthen its network and improve power supply across its network, Eko Electricity Distribution Plc (EKEDP) investments in infrastructure has resulted in significant improvements in power supplied to its customers.
According to EKEDP’s Head, Corporate Communications and spokesperson, Godwin Idemudia, the company embarked on projects focused on reinforcing its network’s stability to safeguard the power supply to customers.
He stated that residents under its Lekki Business District were the initial beneficiaries of improved infrastructure. According to him, EKEDP is set to deploy a 15 MVA, 33 / 11 kV mobile power transformer.
The transformer, which is meant for emergency situations (as a temporary solution), is to ensure the supply of electricity to areas experiencing a power outage due to failure of the existing power transformer – pending its repair.
In addition to the mobile power transformer, EKEDP has also acquired fifteen 500 kVA transformers to ease the load on current transformers and cater to network expansion. Investments have also gone into the rehabilitation and maintenance of 11 kV and 33 kV feeder lines across Lekki and its environs.
Idemudia said, “The projects are evidence of the company’s commitment towards improved customer satisfaction and they are targeted to all areas within its operational network in order to make electricity more accessible and effectively distributed.”
