The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced that maintenance exercises will affect power supply in parts of the federal capital territory (FCT) this weekend.
In a statement on Saturday, December 28, Ndidi Mbah, general manager, public affairs of TCN, said the company’s engineers will conduct planned maintenance 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 switchgears 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. TCN apologises for the inconvenience this may cause, especially during the end of year and yuletide season. However, it is important that maintenance is carried out as scheduled for optimal performance of power equipment.”
Earlier this month, the TCN postponed its planned maintenance on the 150MVA TR2 330/132/33kV transformer at the Gwagwalada 330/132/33kV transmission substation. The maintenance was initially scheduled for December 14 and December 15.
