The reform that started it all
2005
The Electric Power Sector Reform Act came into force, separating electricity generation, transmission, and distribution into distinct business operations. From that reform, eleven distribution companies emerged across Nigeria, each licensed to serve a specific franchise area. Eko Electricity Distribution Company was one of them, assigned to the southern part of Lagos State.

EKEDC became an independent company, receiving its licence to distribute electricity across southern Lagos State. With that came the full weight of responsibility for the homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and markets that depend on power every single day.

New Chapter
2025
In December 2025, Transgrid Enerco, a consortium of North-South Power, Axxela, and the Stanbic IBTC Infrastructure Growth Fund, completed the acquisition of a 60% controlling stake in EKEDC. New ownership. New investment. New leadership. The same commitment to Lagos that has driven this company since day one.
