The power company disclosed that the power outage being experienced in its franchise areas is as a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours on Sunday.
It, however, assured its customers that they are working assidously to resolve the problem and restore power.
“The Management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) wishes to inform its valued customers that the power outage being experienced is as a result of a system failure from the national grid at 11:21 hours today, 4th February, 2024, which has led to a nationwide power outage.
