The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has said that both Abuja and Benin Distribution Companies (DisCos) will not be able to off-take bulk power for some hours on today.
The General Manager (GM) Public Affairs of TCN, Ndidi Mbah, made this announcement in a statement on his social media account.
“The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) wishes to inform the public that its maintenance crew will carry out a scheduled annual preventive maintenance on its 132kV Ajaokuta-Itakpe-Okenne-Okpella 1 line switch gears at its Ajaokuta 330/132kV Transmission Substation today, Friday, July 12, 2024, from 10am to 1pm,” Mbah said.
“As a result, both Abuja and Benin Distribution Companies will not be able to off-take bulk power from TCN’s OKENNE, OKPELLA, and ITAKPE Transmission Substations for three hours only on the stated day.”
Mbah stated that TCN will restore bulk electricity supply to the DisCos immediately after the maintenance is completed.
He pleaded with those affected, saying TCN regrets any inconvenience this may cause electricity consumers served from these substations.
