IBEDC Apologises for Service Shortfalls, Lists Affected Band A Feeders
Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company PLC (IBEDC) has issued a public announcement detailing Band A feeders that experienced unmet hours of electricity supply on February 23, 2026, citing a range of technical and operational challenges.
In a statement addressed to its customers, the company apologised for its inability to deliver the estimated hours of supply across several feeders within its franchise areas.
IBEDC attributed the shortfall to forced and planned outages by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), load shedding, overcurrent and earth faults, as well as disconnections due to non-payment.
The distribution company, however, assured customers that the affected feeders have now been restored, with the exception of the Moniya Railway 33kV feeder, which remains out of service due to disconnection over non-payment.
According to the breakdown provided, feeders such as Ijebu Industrial 11kV, Ijeun GRA 11kV, OAUTHC 11kV, Prime Ilesa Road 11kV, Rite Foods 11kV, and several 33kV feeders including Quantum Steel (Real), Babcock, Celplas, Ile-Ife Township, Ijebu Ode, NNPC, Sagamu, Idowa, Ilaro, Ogbomoso, and Alakia recorded varying hours of supply disruptions.
The reasons for the outages ranged from TCN load shedding at different intervals of the day to planned maintenance outages and technical faults such as overcurrent and earth faults.
In some instances, feeders were affected multiple times within the same day due to overlapping operational challenges.
IBEDC reiterated its commitment to delivering the estimated hours of supply to Band A customers and appealed for continued understanding as it works to stabilise service across its network.
The statement was signed by the company’s management, who thanked customers for their patience and reaffirmed their dedication to improving power supply reliability within the region.
