JUST IN: TCN announces planned power outage in Abuja, Nasarawa over maintenance
ABUJA, Nigeria (NPA) — The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a scheduled power outage in parts of the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa State to enable annual preventive maintenance on the Karu–Keffi–Akwanga 132kV transmission line.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, TCN said the maintenance would take place on Thursday, July 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
According to the company, the exercise will allow its engineers to carry out routine preventive maintenance on the Karu–Keffi–Akwanga 132kV transmission line bay and its associated switchgear at the Karu 132kV Transmission Substation.
As a result, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to receive bulk power supply from the Keffi and Akwanga Transmission Substations during the maintenance period.
Communities expected to be affected include Karu, Nyanya, Jikwoyi, Kurudu, Orozo, Karshi, Mararaba, Ado, Masaka, Auta Balefi, Keffi, Akwanga, Nasarawa Eggon and surrounding areas.
TCN apologised for the temporary disruption and appealed to electricity consumers in the affected communities for their understanding while the maintenance is carried out.
