Lagos customers endure outages as Band A feeders fail

In August, Lagos electricity customers faced outages and poor power supply as several Band A feeders failed to meet the minimum service level, with some recording zero hours of supply, according to data from the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission. Eko Power Limited and Ikeja Electric, two of the major electricity distributors in the city, recorded varying degrees of feeders complying with the required service.

Despite these failures, some feeders performed close to the 24-hour Band A service requirement, with Blue Rail Line under Eko Power being the best-performing feeder, recording an average of 23.9 hours of supply. The report highlights the deteriorating supply performance across the lower bands, with Eko Power's Band B feeders averaging only 16.2 hours of supply.
