TCN announces planned power outage across Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Bauchi, Yobe and Niger Republic
ABUJA, Nigeria (NPA) — The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has issued a Notice of Planned Outage on the Mando–Kumbotso 330kV Transmission Line, scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
According to a statement signed by Ndidi Mbah, GM Public Affairs, the outage is necessary to enable TCN’s maintenance crew to repair a damaged Red Phase Conductor on Tower T187 along the line route.
As a result, the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) will be unable to supply electricity to customers across Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa States, as well as parts of Bauchi and Yobe States. Consumers in Gazaoua, the Niger Republic, will also be affected.
TCN emphasised that the annual maintenance is critical to ensuring the reliability and safety of the grid, noting that such preventive work helps avert larger disruptions in the future.
The company apologised for any inconvenience caused and assured that the power supply would be restored immediately after the completion of the scheduled work.
