TCN announces seven-hour power outage in Iwo, Bowen and others for transformer maintenance
ABUJA, Nigeria (NPA) —The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a planned seven-hour power outage in parts of Osun State to facilitate annual maintenance on a major power transformer at the Iwo Transmission Substation.
According to a statement issued by the General Manager, Public Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mbah, routine maintenance will be carried out on the 40MVA 132/33kV power transformer at the Iwo Transmission Substation on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
TCN said the exercise forms part of its ongoing efforts to ensure the reliability, stability, and efficient operation of the national transmission network.
As a result of the maintenance work, the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) will be unable to receive bulk power supply from the transmission station during the period. Consequently, electricity consumers in Iwo Town, Bowen University, and Rabbish will experience a temporary power interruption.
The transmission company assured that power supply would be restored immediately after the maintenance exercise is completed and apologised for the inconvenience the outage may cause affected customers.
