Mrs Patience Toyo, Head, Public Affairs, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), has said that appreciable stable power supply would be attained in the country by June.
She said that management of AEDC had already introduced strategies to ensure stable power supply in its jurisdiction.
The new power distribution company is responsible for distributing electricity to the Federal Capital Territory, Niger, Kogi and Nassarawa states.
The Power Minister, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, had directed the new investors in the power sector to ensure improved power supply in the country by June, this year.
Toyo said that the first thing AEDC planned to do was to remove some customers from over-loaded transformers to smaller, but efficient ones “to enable them to have improved power supply”.
“There are also projects going on in Gwandara, Nyanya and Giwa areas. These are all steps being taken to ensure that electricity supply in Abuja and its environs improves to a very stable situation,’’ she added.
She also said that the company had concluded plans to put all electricity consumers in the area in a metering regime that would ensure effective monitoring of power distribution and check irregularities that might arise.
Toyo said that arrangements were also being made to provide additional transformers and other equipment and "re-conductor’’ the power lines, adding that all the plans would be carried out in the shortest time possible.
