The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has announced a seven-hour power supply disruption on Saturday over the maintenance of the Apo transmission substation in Abuja.
In a statement, the DisCo also said the current low supply of electricity to users is due to low output from the Generation Companies (GenCos) just as parties are working to quickly restore stable supply.
