The new load rotation implemented by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc last month has worsened the blackout being experienced by residents of Magboro, Ibafo, Mowe and others.
IBEDC said in a statement that its attention had been drawn to a letter made public from its Ibafo consumer forum on the rejection of the new load shedding formula implemented from March 15, 2021.
It said, “The supply to Ibafo originates from a 33kV feeder, which radiates supply from Oke-Aro Transmission Station through Magboro, Makogi, Oke-Afa to Ibafo, Asese, Orimerunmu, Pakuro, Lotto and Mowe axis and environs.
“The current load demand for the axis for an equitable power supply is 35 megawatts, but the allocated energy from Oke-Aro TCN is 13MW, which was the initial arrangement based on how sparsely populated the communities were few years ago.”
