The Transmission Company of Nigeria has announced a planned power outage in parts of the Federal Capital Territory to enable maintenance work at the Katampe 132/33 Kilovolt (kV) Transmission Substation.
According to The Punch, the outage will take place on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as TCN carries out preventive maintenance on the 100 Mega Volt Ampere (MVA) 132/33kV power transformer and associated equipment.
The company’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the maintenance would affect electricity supply to customers served by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
“Consequently, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) will be unable to off-take bulk power for distribution to customers in parts of Mpape, Maitama, Jahi, Life Camp, Kado Fish Market, Idu-Karmo, and their environs during the maintenance period,” she said.
Mbah apologised for the inconvenience the planned outage may cause residents and businesses in the affected areas.
She noted that the maintenance was necessary to ensure the continued optimal performance and reliability of transmission equipment.
