While taking responsibility for some of the outages experienced in certain areas, Ikeja Electric attributed others to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

This decision, announced by the Vice Chairman of NERC, Musiliu Oseni, reflects efforts to address disparities in electricity pricing and consumption across different consumer segments.
