The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Plc (IBEDC) has announced the completion of a major upgrade to its electricity infrastructure serving the Sango/Ota area in Ogun State.
This upgrade aims to significantly improve power supply reliability for customers in the region
But consumers at the Arepo, Magboro, Mowe axis have yet to come to terms with the quality of service by the distribution company.
This is because, according to them, their condition, as far as light is concerned, is next to non existence as the rate of rationing is very high and long.
“Some of us are yet to understand what IBEDC is announcing when some of us here stay for some weeks without light and have come to terms with the ugly situation,” says one of the consumers.
However, the electricity company says the Key improvements include the migration of the Sango 33KV feeder to a more robust T3 100MVA, 132KV/33KV transformer at the Ota transmission station
Additionally, IBEDC has installed a new dedicated ROTOCROWN 33KV feeder. These enhancements are designed to meet increasing electricity demands and ensure superior service quality for over 10,241 IBEDC customers.
The upgraded transformers at the Ota transmission station now support three essential feeders: ROTOCROWN 33KV, TOWER ALLOY 33KV, and SANGO 33KV.
These upgrades, it believes, will help it meet the rising energy needs in the region and provide a stable electricity supply to numerous communities.
The enhanced Sango 33KV feeder will benefit residents of Alishiba, Ilogbo, Bayo Block, Animashaun, and Ewupe.
