Electricity supply restored in Abia after week-long outage

Electricity supply has been restored in parts of Abia State after more than a week of outage.

Aba Power disclosed this in a notice on X on Saturday.

Recall that since July 29, the Aba-Ring Fence Area had been hit by a power supply disruption due to a gas supply shortage to the Geometric Aba Power Limited.

However, in an update on Saturday, the plant said gas supply to its turbines had resumed following the repair of damaged components at the facilities of its gas supplier, Heirs Energies. “We are pleased to inform you that our primary power provider, Geometric Power Aba Limited, GPAL, has resumed turbine operations following the successful repair of the damaged components at the facilities of its gas supplier, Heirs Energies. “Consequently, we have commenced the systematic restoration of power supply to our customers through our feeders, based on the available generation capacity,” the notice stated.

DAILY POST reports that Aba Power provides electricity to nine of the 17 local government areas in Abia State.

Recall that the Governor of Abia State, on Thursday, vowed to commence the deployment of solar energy to mitigate power supply challenges in the state.
