The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has announced a maintenance exercise at its 330/132kV Gwagwalada, Abuja Transmission Substation.
In a statement on Wednesday, the company said the exercise would begin that day and last for three hours, noting that maintenance crews would be at work between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
“The three-hour exercise will enable TCN maintenance crew to carry out urgent maintenance on the 33kV 6MVA earthing reactor at the substation,” it said.
