The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says some parts of the Federal Capital Territory will experience a seven-hour power outage on Saturday and Sunday.
Ndidi Mbah, TCN’s General Manager of Public Affairs, announced this in a statement on Saturday.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria wishes to inform the public that its maintenance crew will carry out planned preventive maintenance on its 132/33kV 2X100MVA power Transformers in Apo Transmission Substation,” the statement said.
Maintenance is scheduled on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to 4:00 pm.
“Consequently, there will be power interruption through both transformers and Abuja DisCo will be unable to offtake power from the two transformers for distribution to its customers,” the statement added.
The affected areas include; Garki, Asokoro, Lugbe, Airport Road, Gudu, Gaduwa, parts of Lokogoma, Apo, Kabusa, Guzape and Nepa Junction.
It also stressed that power supply will be restored on both days by 4 pm, adding that “TCN regrets the inconvenience this may cause electricity consumers in the affected areas.”
