THE Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has notified the public, particularly residents of parts of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of the disruption in power supply to the affected areas.
TCN, in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said that its engineers will conduct planned maintenance exercises at two transmission substations.
“Today, Saturday, December 28, 2024, from 9 am to 1 pm. Maintenance will be carried out on a 60MVA power transformer and its associated switchgear at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33kV Transmission Substation. During the period, Abuja DisCo will not be able to supply electricity to customers in Gwagwalada and environs for four hours only.
“Also, on Sunday, December 29, 2024, from 9 am to 10 pm, maintenance work will be carried out on one of the 60MVA power transformers at the Kukwaba 132/33kV Transmission Substation. This will result in power interruption in Wuye, EFCC, Federal Medical Centre, Coca-Cola, Idu Railway Station, Citec, and Life Camp.”
While apologising for the inconvenience this may cause, especially during the end of year and yuletide season, TCN however noted that it is important that maintenance is carried out as scheduled for optimal performance of power equipment.
