Electricity consumers in Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa Ibom
States have been notified by the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution
Company, PHED, that the National Power Grid has collapsed.
According to PM News, the Head of Corporate Communications of the
Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company, Jonah Iboma revealed
that PHED is now receiving zero power from the national grid as a result
of the collapse which occurred on Sunday, 19 June.
He said the implication of the collapse of the national grid is that most cities in the four states are now witnessing blackout.
Iboma added that PHED would source for power from other alternative
sources to mitigate the impact of the collapse of the National Grid on
electricity consumers in Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa Ibom
States.
He also said PHED would distribute the little power it is able to
generate from alternative sources within this period to only customers
who are willing to pay.
PHED oversees electricity supply to the four States of Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers and Rivers, Bayelsa.
In Rivers State consumers have started experiencing insufficient
power supply, especially in areas that power supply was adequate.
