PHED Restores Electricity In Akwa Ibom, Explains Cause Of Outage

Tuesday May 13, 2025 |

The Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) has restored electricity to Akwa Ibom after power outage.

The Power company said the power outage in Akwa Ibom State was caused by a “red phase cut conductor at the Aba/Itu 132KV line.”

The electricity distribution company disclosed this in a statement posted on its X handle on Tuesday, May 13. It listed Uyo, Eket, Ikot Ekpene, and their environs as most affected.

“We appeal to our esteemed customers feeding from these areas to exercise patience as the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, technical team is working to rectify the fault and restore power as soon as possible,” the company said.

This is not the first time the electricity distribution company has blamed the line for a power outage in the state.

However, the power has since been restored after the statement from the company.
