| 30 | In February 2013 the Nigerian Eko Electricity Distribution Company |
|---|
| 31 | was privatised and sold to West Power & Gas Limited (WPGL). Eko Disco is one |
|---|
| 32 | of eleven formerly state-owned `distribution companies in Nigeria |
|---|
| 33 | <http://energycouncil.gov.ng/distribution-companies.aspx>`_. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc is located in Lagos, |
|---|
| 36 | Nigeria's commercial and financial hub and the Agbara industrial region. |
|---|
| 37 | Eko Disco's franchise includes Festac, Ijora, Lagos Island, Ajah and |
|---|
| 38 | Agbara/Badagry districts of the Lagos South zone, with the Republic of Benin |
|---|
| 39 | as a potential target of electricity export. |
|---|
| 40 | Eko Disco owns and maintains 51 number 33 KV and 217 number 11 KV circuits, |
|---|
| 41 | covering 508 and 2137.95 kilometers respectively. |
|---|
| 42 | It also operates 48 number 33/11 KV injection substations and |
|---|
| 43 | 4019 number 116/0.415 KV distribution substations. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | Like all other Nigerian distribution companies, Eko Disco has been mandated |
|---|
| 46 | by the Federal Government that all cities across the country be supplied with |
|---|
| 47 | at least 20-hour electricity starting from December 2013. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | WPGL aims at fulfilling this ambitious mandate and even |
|---|
| 50 | assures a 22 hours supply in 2014. |
