MEDL has completed a major maintenance project in Enugu, promising improved power supply and service reliability for affected customers.
MainPower Electricity Distribution Limited (MEDL) has completed a major maintenance exercise at its Trans-Ekulu Injection Substation in Enugu, aimed at improving power supply and network reliability.
The upgrade involved the installation of a newly procured 11kV indoor switchgear panel, carried out over the weekend.
According to MEDL’s Head of Communications, Emeka Ezeh, the maintenance work, initially scheduled for 48 hours, was completed ahead of time.
He attributed the early delivery to the dedication of the engineering team, who worked round the clock to ensure timely completion.
Ezeh noted that the upgrade is part of MEDL’s broader efforts to strengthen infrastructure and deliver more stable electricity to customers.
He said areas served by the Nowas, Phase 6, and Dhamija feeders connected to the substation are expected to experience improved power quality and greater reliability.
The company expressed gratitude to customers affected by the temporary outage during the maintenance period, acknowledging their patience and understanding.
MEDL disclosed that the project became necessary following an explosion in the substation’s control room on January 21, 2026.
The company added that the procurement of the new switchgear equipment cost over N200 million, underscoring its commitment to upgrading critical infrastructure.
