In August 2026, Lagos electricity customers faced power outages as several Band A feeders failed to meet minimum service levels, according to data from the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Eko Power Limited and Ikeja Electric were among the distribution companies reporting performance issues. Eko Power had 201 compliant and 46 non-compliant feeders out of 247, while Ikeja Electric had 113 compliant and 52 non-compliant feeders out of 165.
Two Eko Power feeders and 11 under Ikeja Energy Lagos recorded zero hours of electricity supply during the month. Despite the failures, some feeders approached the 24-hour Band A service requirement. Eko Power's best-performing feeder, Blue Rail Line, averaged 23.9 hours of supply, while IE Energy's top feeder, 132-EgbinTCN-MARYLAND-OMNIK, recorded 24 hours.
The overall Band A average was 21.9 hours for Eko Power and 21.3 hours for IE Energy. Compliance was lower in lower bands, with Eko Power's Band B averaging 16.2 hours and IE Energy's Band B at 15.3 hours. Both companies experienced thousands of outages, with Eko Power recording 2,052 planned and 2,316 unplanned outages, and IE Energy Lagos reporting 59 planned and 46 unplanned outages.
