Flooding Knocks Out Power in Lagos and Osun as DisCos Impose Load Shedding

The Eko and Ibadan Electricity Distribution Companies have announced power cuts in several communities after heavy rains and flooding disrupted key transmission lines. EKEDC said outages followed the breakdown of its Oshogbo-Ikeja 330kV and Benin-Egbin 330kV lines, affecting areas like Lekki, Chevron Drive, Alpha Beach, Oniru and Maroko. IBEDC reported flooding at the Ilerin Injection Substation in Osun State, causing outages in Ifewara, Iwara, Mount Carmel and neighboring communities. Both companies say their engineers are working with the national grid operator to restore supply as soon as the affected lines are back online. They apologise for the inconvenience and ask customers to bear with them.
