The Management of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company PLC (BEDC), yesterday, said it is poised at resolving the power crisis in its franchise states of Edo, Delta Ondo and Ekiti, just as it regrets the inconveniences caused by the poor power supply to its regions.
It said the management is making all the necessary efforts to engage stakeholders in the electricity sector in a bid to resolving the power situation and improve supply in its areas of coverage.
This was contained in a statement signed by the company’s Acting Head, Corporate Affairs Department, Mrs Evelyn Gbiwen and made available to journalists in Benin.
“The Management of BEDC wishes to empathise with its customers over shortage of power supply currently being experienced in its franchise states.
“We are relentlessly engaging stakeholders in the electricity value chain in a bid to resolve the situation and improve power supply.
“We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by the situation, and appeal for your patience and understanding as we resolve the problem.
“One of our set goals when we took over the management of BEDC a few months ago is to ensure regular power supply to all our operations areas .
“Including connecting communities that where disconnected by the previous administration to the national grid. We will push electricity to the rural areas,” the statement said.
